The last match of the Test series between India and New Zealand was played in Mumbai. In this match, the Indian team lost by 25 runs, due to which it had to face a clean sweep in the 3-match series. For the first time under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India had to face such a bad defeat. In this series, Rohit Sharma could neither do wonders as captain nor was successful in scoring runs as a batsman. Due to this poor performance, he has reached a place very high in the shameful list, which he would never have expected.
Rohit’s name entered in shameful list
Before this series, Rohit Sharma had lost only 2 test matches in India as captain. But the opposite happened against New Zealand. They lost all three matches of the series. With this, he has now reached the second position in the list of Indian captains who have lost the most matches at home. Under his captaincy, Team India has now lost a total of 5 test matches at home. In this list, he has gone ahead of legends like Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev. Let us tell you, Tiger Pataudi is at the forefront in losing the most number of test matches at home as captain. He had lost 9 test matches in India.
Rohit’s test statistics as captain
Team India has played 21 test matches so far under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. During this period, the Indian team has won 12 matches and had to face defeat in 7 matches. At the same time, 2 matches have also been drawn. At the same time, he has captained a total of 16 test matches in India. Out of these, he has managed to win 10 matches and lost 5 matches. Apart from this, 1 match has been a draw. On the other hand, if we talk about their statistics abroad, Team India has won 2 out of 4 matches and lost 1. Team India now has to play the next Test series in Australia, where Rohit will have another big test.
Rohit Sharma’s bat remained silent
Rohit Sharma was also in very bad condition as a batsman in this series. He could score only 91 runs in 6 innings of 3 matches, during which his average was 15.16. The surprising thing was that he could touch the 50-run mark only once, that is, he failed to give a good start to Team India in almost every innings, which also became a major reason for the poor performance of the team in this series.
