Fans on Twitter did not go easy Indian National Cricket Team The captain of the team, Rohit Sharma, was defeated in the first Test against the New Zealand National Cricket Team. The match took place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Rohit Sharma did not have a great game as the captain of Team India in the first Test against New Zealand. The hosts suffered a disappointing 8-wicket loss against the Kiwis and the visitors registered their first win on Indian soil in 36 years.
Rohit Sharma’s decision to bat first in overcast conditions was the main reason behind India’s defeat
Rohit’s decision to bat first in cloudy conditions was the main reason why India lost the game. As a result, the hosts got all out for just 46 runs and beyond that, it was only an attractive game for them as New Zealand found themselves way ahead from the first session of play.
Rohit was also not impressive with his leadership in the game. The opener, especially Ravichandran, did not take full advantage of Ashwin. The off-spinner was brought into the attack too late and even the commentators pointed it out, saying the skipper missed the trick.
Rohit Sharma has underperformed as a player
Rohit also underperformed as a player. He couldn’t get going with the bat in the first innings and dropped a couple of catches as well. Despite playing an innings of 52 runs in the second innings, it was not enough as India conceded a huge lead of 356 runs, the highest by New Zealand in India.
Rohit will now look to make a strong comeback in the second Test. The captain himself came to attend the press conference and took the blame. He would be hoping to lead from the front and help the Team right the streak.

Rohit is a clueless captain, he doesn’t even know how to use 5 bowlers in test cricket.
