Netizens react to India loss to New Zealand

The Indian cricket team, captained by Rohit Sharma, lost the series by 0-2 after losing the second Test match against Tom Latham’s New Zealand squad by 113 runs on Saturday at Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. The subsequent setback follows an eight-wicket first-test loss at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The Indian team is currently working hard to avoid giving New Zealand a 0–3 Test victory.

India’s series loss to New Zealand was more than just a disaster; it was a series loss for the hosts after a 12-year break.According to statistics, New Zealand had only won two tests in India prior to this series, in 1969 and 1988, throughout its tours of the country since 1955. Tom Latham’s team becomes a select club after this series victory. Since 2000, India has only lost three test series at home: against South Africa in 2000, Australia in 2004–05, and England 12 years ago.

Upset with India’s performance in the ongoing Test series, netizens have burst out their anger on social media.

 One wrote, “Shastri era – Toota hai Gabba ka ghamand, Gambhir era – Toot gaya apne ghar ka ghamand”.Another wrote, “Rahane and Pujara watcing Indian middle order.” “Reminder MS Dhoni Left Test captaincy when India was in 7th position in ranking we were badly losing. ( Mumbai lobby ) won’t tell you about this. Then the man Virat Kohli came and rulled test cricket for fun. Number 1 for 5 years and 5 test maces,” wrote the third.

Fourth commented, “Rt if you think Rohit Sharma is not even 1% of Virat Kohli as a test captain. CLUELESS CAPTAIN ROHIT SHARMA” “Captain sir kabhi kabar baki players ko galiya na dekar apne apko galiya do,” a fifth commented. The third Test between India and New Zealand will be played from 1 November at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
