The Indian​ cricket team was defeated by New Zealand⁢ by 25 runs in⁢ the last match of the three-Test​ series. ⁣With⁢ this defeat, ⁣Team India also lost the series 3-0.‍ The Indian ​team had a target of 147 runs in the third Test match played in Mumbai, but against the Kiwi ⁣bowlers, ⁢the host team was limited to a score‍ of only 121 runs. ⁣Players​ like Rohit Sharma and​ Virat Kohli flopped ⁤badly for‌ Team India⁢ in this match. ⁤Even in bowling, the Indian‌ team was not ⁣very effective, as a‌ result of which Team India not only lost the match but also lost the series. In such a situation, let us ⁣know about the 5 ⁤villain players ‍of this defeat suffered ‌by the Indian team.

Rohit Sharma ​cheated at every opportunity

Captain Rohit Sharma can be considered the ‍biggest⁢ villain of Team India’s defeat in ​the third‌ test⁤ against‌ New Zealand. Rohit ⁣Sharma was badly exposed ‌against New Zealand. Rohit was ineffective not only in the ​third‍ Test match but ⁤in the entire series. Even under captaincy, Rohit Sharma made‍ many blunders. In the third ⁢test match, Rohit Sharma ⁤could score only 29 runs in​ both the innings⁢ combined. This is the⁢ reason why the Indian ‍team had to lose the match.

Sarfaraz Khan⁢ flopped badly on home ground

Sarfaraz Khan, who scored⁢ a mountain of⁤ runs at Mumbai’s Wankhede Cricket Stadium, flopped on his⁢ home ground. Sarfaraz ​Khan ‌was out ‌after scoring zero runs ‍in the ⁣first ⁣innings of‌ the⁢ third Test match against New Zealand and just 1 ⁣run in‍ the second innings. Team India’s middle order‍ became weak due to Sarfaraz ⁢Khan‍ not being ⁢able to bat. Due ‍to ⁤this, the Indian team had ⁢to⁤ face a crushing defeat in ⁤the team match.

Virat Kohli’s condition went⁢ from bad to worse

Team India’s batsman Virat Kohli’s condition ⁢was very bad in⁤ the Test series against New ‌Zealand.​ Virat Kohli could​ not score runs in ⁢any ‌match of the series. Team India’s top order batting became weak due ​to the poor performance of Virat​ Kohli.‌ If we talk about the third test match, Virat Kohli ‍could ‌score only ​4 runs in the first innings and 1 run ⁢in the second innings. In such a ⁣situation, Virat Kohli also ⁢became the biggest villain in the defeat of Team India.

Ashwin-Jadeja should show ⁢strength in ⁤batting

Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were also the main villains ⁢of Team India’s defeat in the third​ Test match. Both these players ⁣are known for their bowling as well as batting. ⁣It was expected from him that considering⁤ the conditions prevailing ​in the Mumbai Test match, he should have contributed in batting also, but he was not successful in doing so.

Time.news ‌Interview: The Indian Cricket Team’s Defeat – Analyzing‌ the Series with Expert Analyst

Editor:‍ Welcome to Time.news! Today, we have a special ​guest, cricket analyst and commentator, Rajiv Mehra. We’ll delve into the recent disappointing performance of⁤ the Indian cricket team⁤ against New⁢ Zealand, ​where they⁤ lost the three-Test series 3-0. Rajiv, thank⁣ you for ​joining us.

Rajiv Mehra: Thank you for ⁣having me. It’s a crucial topic for cricket fans,⁢ and I’m looking forward to breaking it down.

Editor: So, Rajiv,‌ the final match ended ⁤with⁢ a 25-run defeat for India, leaving them with an aggregate series‌ loss. What do you believe led to ​such a dismal performance?

Rajiv Mehra: There were several factors, but the primary issues⁣ stemmed from poor individual performances.‍ Key⁣ players like Rohit Sharma and Virat ⁢Kohli, who are expected ⁣to lead⁣ from the‍ front, failed to deliver. In the last match, despite having a target of just 147⁣ runs, the⁢ team crumbled to only 121.

Editor: That’s a tough pill to swallow.⁢ Let’s start with Rohit Sharma. You ‌described him as perhaps the‍ biggest villain of this defeat. Can you elaborate ​on that?

Rajiv Mehra: Definitely. Rohit’s ⁣performance throughout the series was underwhelming.‍ He ​struggled ‍against the Kiwi ‍bowlers⁤ and ‌made​ tactical errors as⁢ a captain. In crucial moments,​ he mismanaged the team’s⁢ strategy, leading to missed opportunities. His inability​ to score runs put immense pressure on ‍the rest of the batting line-up.

Editor:‍ And what about Virat Kohli? Many were hoping for a strong‌ comeback from him. Was his performance ⁤equally‌ disappointing?

Rajiv⁢ Mehra: Yes, Virat also ​fell ⁤short⁣ of ⁣expectations. In moments when the team needed him most, he‍ wasn’t ⁢able to anchor the innings. There ‍were glimmers of hope, but his‍ lack of runs was telling. The senior​ players needed​ to step up, and they ⁤didn’t, which really hurt⁤ the team’s‍ morale.

Editor: Moving to the bowling department, it seems they didn’t fare much⁢ better either. What went⁢ wrong on that front?

Rajiv Mehra: The bowlers struggled ​to⁢ maintain pressure. In ​the third ‌Test, they failed to capitalize on early breakthroughs and allowed the opposition⁣ to build partnerships.‌ The control over‍ run rates was ⁢lost, ⁣which ultimately hampered⁤ the team’s chances. ⁢It’s a team sport, and when⁢ both batting and bowling departments ⁣falter, results like this are inevitable.

Editor: With ⁣such a comprehensive ⁤defeat,‍ what do you think⁢ the Indian‌ cricket board should​ do now?

Rajiv Mehra: There ‌needs to be ⁣a thorough evaluation⁣ of the team’s ⁢strategies and performance. Perhaps it’s ⁤time to ‍consider fresh talent ⁢or even rethink leadership roles. Building⁤ a cohesive team‌ dynamic⁤ is crucial, and an introspective overhaul can help identify the core issues⁢ and rectify them moving forward.

Editor: Rajiv, fantastic insights! As a ⁣fan, it’s hard to digest a series loss ⁣like this, but understanding these nuances helps. What final⁢ thoughts do‍ you have for our readers?

Rajiv ‍Mehra: My advice would be⁢ for fans to stay ⁤patient​ and ⁤support the​ team through thick and thin. Cricket ⁢is a cyclical ⁤game, and every team faces rough ‍patches. The ⁤focus should be on constructive criticism ‍and encouraging the players to restore pride in the blue jersey.

Editor: Thank‍ you, Rajiv, for ⁣sharing your expertise with ⁣us. We hope ⁢Team India ⁤comes back stronger ​in ⁣future matches!

Rajiv Mehra: Thank you for having ​me. It’s always good to ⁢discuss the game we love, no matter the circumstances.
