Team India's boat sank due to 3 decisions of the captain

These are the 3 biggest reasons for Team India being out on just 46 runs, these are what ruined India's fleet 1

bat first

Team India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss in this match and decided to bat first and the Indian batsmen proved ineffective against the Kiwi bowlers. Since the first day of the match was washed out due to rain, there was moisture on the pitch and the Kiwi fast bowlers took advantage of this moisture very well. No batsman could stand in front of the waving balls of the Kiwi fast bowlers.

sending Virat to number 3

Team India captain Rohit Sharma had sent Virat Kohli to bat at number 3 in the absence of Shubman Gill. Virat Kohli was already going through poor form and in such a situation he had to face the new ball. Virat Kohli was badly exposed in front of the new ball and he returned to the pavilion without opening the account. If Virat had come to bat in his prescribed order, the result could have been better.

Attacking approach proved costly

Team India captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir have advised all the players to play with attacking approach and that is why all the players have also started adopting attacking approach. It is because of this attacking approach that the wickets of Team India collapsed like a pack of cards. If batting had been done seriously, the results could have been better.
