- Rohit Sharma: After India was all out for 159 runs in the first innings in the second Test of the Test series against New Zealand, such a shameful record has been created that has not happened in the tenure of any captain in the last 23 years…
Rohit Sharma: Records are made and broken in cricket. Till yesterday, it was Rohit Sharma, whose captaincy fans were not tired of praising. Because, India won the T20 World Cup 2024 title under his captaincy. Apart from this, they reached the final of the ODI World Cup last year and also played the final of WTC 2023. But, after being all out for 159 runs in the first innings in the second Test in the Test series against New Zealand, such a shameful record has been created that in 23 years, this has not happened in the tenure of any captain.
This shameful record was made under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma
A 3 match test series is being played between India and New Zealand. In which India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the first test. India is on the verge of losing in the second test. By the end of the second day’s play, New Zealand has taken a lead of more than 300 runs at the loss of 5 wickets.
To make it on this turning pitch would be nothing short of a miracle. Let us tell you that New Zealand took a lead of more than 100 runs against India in the first innings. This happened against Australia in 2001. After that, this is the second time in 23 years that a team has taken a lead of 100+ runs in the first innings under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
Team India was all out on the lowest score under Rohit’s captaincy
Team India has been all out twice on lowest scores of 36 and 42 runs abroad. But this year, for the first time under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, it was all out on the lowest score of 46 runs at home. This match will also be included as the worst test match under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. Before this, the Indian team was all out on 75 runs against West Indies in Delhi on 25 Nov 1987. While in the year 2008, South Africa had all out Team India on 76 runs.
