IND vs NZ: “We made a lot of mistakes in this series”; Rohit Sharma gave shocking statement on clean sweep
Rohit Sharma gave a big statement after the clean sweep against New Zealand.
For the Indian team, the Test series against New Zealand at home has been no less than a nightmare, in which Team India had a very poor performance in all three matches and had to face a clean sweep in this series. This is the first time the Indian team has faced such defeat at home in a series of three or more Test matches. In the last match of this Test series held in Mumbai, Team India had a target of 147 runs in the fourth innings, but the entire team was limited to 121 runs. After the defeat in this series, disappointment was clearly visible on the face of Indian captain Rohit Sharma in which he said that this defeat is not going to be easily digested.
We didn’t perform well as a team at all
In the presentation ceremony held after the defeat in the Mumbai Test match against New Zealand, Rohit Sharma, in response to a question about Team India’s performance in this series, said that we all know that losing a Test or a series is never easy. . This defeat is something that will not be easily digested. We could not play as per expectations in this match also and we have to accept our mistake. New Zealand played much better than us and we also made a lot of mistakes. We did not bat well in the first innings of the first two Test matches due to which we lagged behind and in this Test match we managed to take a slight lead in the first innings and we felt that we were ahead. This target should also have been achieved but we had to perform better.
I am disappointed in myself for not performing better with the bat
The Test series against New Zealand was very bad for Indian team captain Rohit Sharma as a batsman, regarding which he also said in his statement that you also want runs on the board and this was what was going on in my mind and when you were planning. If you are not able to bat accordingly then you feel bad and this is what happened to me which is quite disappointing. Pant and Gill showed with their batting how to bat on such a pitch. We have been playing on such pitches for the last 3 to 4 years and we know how to play, but in this series we completely failed to do so. We as a team did not play well at all in this series and this is also the biggest reason for the defeat.
