IND vs NZ: Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir face the biggest 'stain', this happens for the first time in 92 years

Lost the Bengaluru Test by 8 wickets. Lost the Pune Test by 113 runs. And now lost the last Test played in Mumbai by 25 runs. Team India's condition has never been so bad in a 3-match Test series played on home ground. Team India has been playing Test matches since 1932. It has been 92 years since it started playing Test cricket. But, this is the first time that the Indian team is in such a bad condition. The clean sweep against New Zealand is like the biggest blot on the reputation of both captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir.

Rohit Sharma is the first captain under whose captaincy this happened.

This is the first time in the 92-year history of Indian Test cricket that Team India has achieved a clean sweep in a 3-match Test series on home soil. New Zealand has become the first team to do so. The Indian team has seen this day under the leadership of Captain Rohit Sharma. In simple words, Rohit Sharma has become the first captain under whose leadership the Indian team has not only lost a 3-Test series on home soil but has been clean-swept in it.

Why did Team India face this situation for the first time in 92 years?

Now the question is, what is the reason behind this pathetic condition of Team India for the first time in 92 years? The reason behind this is from Rohit's captaincy to the batting of the Indian team. Rohit was seen making some strange decisions regarding the batting order of the team, which was beyond understanding. Talking only about the Mumbai Test, here Sarfaraz Khan's tampering with the batting order in the first innings was not understandable. Before that, the decision to send Mohammad Siraj as a nightwatchman was also similar.

The captaincy was bad and the batting was also a disaster.

Rohit's captaincy was bad. His batting was even worse. Rohit could not even score 100 runs in the 3 Test series against New Zealand. The same was the case with Virat Kohli. He too could score just 93 runs in this series. India's condition in the Mumbai Test broke the hearts of the fans because there was hope of victory here. But, the way Indian batsmen played bad shots and got out while chasing the target of 147 runs was beyond comprehension.

Rohit took full responsibility for the poor performance.

After the defeat in the Mumbai Test match, Rohit Sharma also admitted that he has not seen a worse phase than this in his career. He also took full responsibility for the team's humiliation against New Zealand. Rohit said that as a captain he has made many mistakes, due to which the team had to suffer. He also expressed concern about the team's batting. He admitted that our shot selection was not right.

Of course, Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir will discuss these issues with the rest of the team. But, for now, the stigma of a clean sweep has already been attached to the team.
