There has been criticism that captain rohit sharma has made the worst record of any indian captain in 55 years. In international cricket, the indian team has won against any team because it has many talented senior players including Virat Kohli, rohit sharma, Jadeja, and Ashwin, and young players including Bumrah, rishabh pant, and KL Rahul. But recently, during the Test series against new zealand, the elephant's foot seems to be slipping, losing 3-0 at home. This has caused a big shock not only to the bcci but also to the indian cricket fans. The defeat will reverberate in their chances of going to the World Test championship finals as india sit in 2nd place in the points table, but will need to win 4 out of 5 matches against australia next.
In the path of the indian cricket team, in 1969 under the captaincy of tiger Pattodi, the indian team lost 4 Test matches at home in the same year. At that time, the indian team had lost 1 match against new zealand and 3 matches against Australia. Learning from this humiliating defeat, the indian team remained strong in international cricket till 2023. That means they have never lost 4 Test matches at home in a single year.Under the captaincy of rohit sharma, the indian team lost 4 Test matches against new zealand at home in the same year. Also, it is noteworthy that the indian team lost the first match of the Test series against the england team at the beginning of this year.
Leading the indian team is not for everyone. It is only because of years of patience, skill, and leadership that the team can lead the way. rohit sharma has that qualification. That's why he bagged the t20 world cup after Dhoni. But the fans are commenting in support of Rohit that the test series defeat is his prediction, even when the ground conditions are not favorable for them, the expected results may have disappointed them.
