The second match of the 3-match Test series between India and New Zealand was played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Ground in Pune. Team India had to face defeat in this match, due to which it also lost this test series. New Zealand has created history in the series and taken an unassailable 2-0 lead. At the same time, this is the first time that New Zealand has defeated India in a Test series at its own home. With this, Team India’s streak of continuously winning Test series in India has also been broken.
Defeated in test series after 12 years
This defeat is very painful for Team India. Actually, India has lost the Test series at home after 12 years. Earlier, England had defeated Team India in the Test series during the 2012-13 India tour. Since then the Indian team had dominance at home. He had won 18 consecutive series, but now this winning streak has stopped. At the same time, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India has lost its fourth test match at home. He has now jointly become the second Indian captain to lose the most Test matches in India.
Indian batsmen were a complete flop
In this match, the New Zealand team won the toss and decided to bat first, which proved to be correct. The New Zealand team was successful in scoring 259 runs in its first innings. In response, the Indian team could score only 156 runs in its first innings. During this period, no batsman could even touch the figure of 40 runs. After this, New Zealand also performed brilliantly in the second innings and scored 255 runs. In such a situation, Team India had a target of 359 runs to win this match. But except Yashasvi Jaiswal, no batsman could last long in this innings, due to which the Indian team had to face a crushing defeat.
