After the end of the second test, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma made a big statement about these two bowlers. According to The Daily Star, after the second test, Rohit Sharma said, ‘There are a lot of expectations from these two players. In every match that these players play, it is expected from them that they take wickets and play an important role in helping their team win the match. I don’t think this is correct. It is the responsibility of all of us players to make our team win the test. It is not just about two players. We all know that both these players have always performed very well in all formats but now the other players will also have to fulfill their responsibilities well. Both these players have played a lot of cricket and have also played an important role in the team’s victory: Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma further said, ‘Both these players have played a lot of cricket and the performance of both these players was of high level in the 18 consecutive series we won at home. Sometimes a player is allowed to play poorly. It will not happen every time that a player is performing well for your team. The third and final Test between Team India and New Zealand is starting from November 1 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Even though Team India has not been able to register victory in the first two tests, they would like to perform brilliantly in the last match.

IND vs NZ: Jasprit Bumrah should be rested in Mumbai Test against New Zealand: Dinesh Karthik
The third Test between Team India and New Zealand is starting from November 1 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Jasprit bumrah (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former player Dinesh Karthik believes that Team India should rest Jasprit Bumrah in the third Test match against New Zealand. Let us tell you that the third Test between Team India and New Zealand is starting from November 1 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. So far, the New Zealand team is ahead 2-0 in the three-match Test series. The first Test between these two teams was played in Bengaluru in which New Zealand won. Not only this, even in the second test match played in Pune, Team India failed to show good performance. Talking about Jasprit Bumrah, he participated in both these test matches against New Zealand. Not only this, Jasprit Bumrah was also seen performing brilliantly in the two-match Test series played against Bangladesh. Jasprit Bumrah will have to play an important role in his team’s victory by performing well in the third Test match against New Zealand. However, according to Dinesh Karthik, he should be rested in the third Test because Bumrah’s role will be more important in the five-match Test series against Australia. The five-match Test series between Australia and India is starting from November 22. Dinesh Karthik told Cricbuzz, ‘There is no doubt that Jasprit Bumrah needs rest. Mohammad Siraj should be included in the team in his place. Apart from this, there should be no other changes according to me. If a player is injured then it is a different matter. I am not able to understand at all what will be the playing XI of Team India in the third test?: Dinesh Karthik The former player further said, ‘The defeat is very heavy in my mind. I am not able to think at all what will be the playing XI of Team India in the third test? This is a very short notice but I would like to say that Bumrah should be rested and Siraj should be included back in the team. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win the third Test against New Zealand. Not only this, Team India will also have to win the match by a long margin in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.

IND vs NZ: Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is now under question, these 4 things will increase the tension of the hitman
India has lost the test series at home after 12 years. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India’s performance in the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has been very poor. New Zealand has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. New Zealand won the second test played in Pune by 113 runs. Team India lost this test match within three days. India has lost a Test series at home to New Zealand for the first time in 69 years. After losing the Pune Test match, questions are once again being raised on Rohit’s captaincy. Fans and cricket experts are not happy with his performance. Now Rohit is being compared with former captain Virat Kohli, who was one of India’s most successful captains in Test cricket. Under the captaincy of Kohli, Team India continued to dominate at home. Rohit’s record at home Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Mitchell Santner & Rachin Ravindra (Photo Source: Under Rohit, India has lost four out of 15 Test matches at home. He has reached joint second position in the list of Indian captains who have lost the most home Tests. Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev also lost four Tests each but both captained in 20-20 matches. In such a situation, Rohit’s record is a bit scary. Kohli, on the other hand, took charge of 31 Tests in India and lost only two of them. With the loss to New Zealand, India’s streak of 18 consecutive bilateral home series wins ended, which is a world record in itself.
India’s WTC qualification scenario looks a bit difficult now: Aakash Chopra
India now has to win 5 of its upcoming 6 test matches. Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has recently given a big statement regarding India’s chances of reaching the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). Chopra says that it looks a little difficult now. It is noteworthy that after the defeat by 113 runs in the Pune Test match against New Zealand, India’s path to the WTC has become a bit difficult. India has to win only 4 of its upcoming six Test matches, while one match may be drawn. But it is worth noting here that 5 of these matches are against Australia in Australia. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the defeat in the Pune Test match, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The important question is what is the WTC qualification scenario, because India was on a mission of dominance. We thought we would win all five (home Tests) and move forward with 100 per cent points. Now the scenario is that you have to win four and draw one out of the remaining six matches, and that is a tough task. Chopra further said- Believe it or not, I think the upcoming BGT (Border-Gavaskar Trophy) is going to be very difficult. We have not lost for 10 years, but this time it will be very difficult to win. So the qualification scenario looks a bit difficult now, especially when you watch South Africa’s home matches. This is a big reason. Let us tell you that India has made it to the WTC finals for the last two consecutive times, but this time it seems a little difficult. So South Africa has won the first test match against Bangladesh, and the second match is left. While its two matches are left against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. If it wins these 5 matches, it will directly make it to the WTC finals.
