What happened in Bengaluru on the morning of Thursday 17 October will be remembered forever in the history of Indian cricket. Team India had to face such a humiliation at the hands of New Zealand in the first innings that hardly anyone could have predicted. On the second day of the first Test match, Team India collapsed for just 46 runs in the first innings. His batsmen surrendered completely. Captain Rohit Sharma himself has now taken responsibility for the condition of Team India and admitted that one of his decisions proved wrong. After the end of the day's play, captain Rohit admitted that he made a mistake in understanding the pitch, due to which Team India was in this situation.

The first day of this test match being played at Chinnaswamy Stadium was completely washed out by rain. Then on the second day in the morning also the situation remained rainy but still the match started and here Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss but surprised everyone and decided to bat first. Its effect was soon visible and Team India collapsed for just 46 runs at the beginning of the second session. 4 top order batsmen could not even open their account. New Zealand's fast bowlers wreaked havoc on India's formidable batsmen.

Big mistake in reading the pitch

Since the toss, questions were being raised that why did Team India not choose bowling first? Fans kept discussing the same thing on social media throughout the day. Finally, after the end of the day's play, captain Rohit himself came for the press conference and the journalists put this question in front of him. Rohit directly admitted without making any excuse that he made a mistake in reading the pitch. The Indian captain said that he thought the pitch would be flat as there was not much grass visible on it and that is why he decided to bat first.

Rohit said that due to his mistake the team is stuck in this situation. He called the team's all out for 46 runs as heartbreaking because it happened because of his mistake. However, Rohit also said that one or two mistakes still happen throughout the year.

Due to this reason the third pacer was not taken

On the decision to include only 2 pacers in this match after going with 3 fast bowlers in the last Test series, Rohit said that spinner Kuldeep Yadav was included because the pitch looked flat and on such a pitch, he would lose wickets. Expert in taking. But all the bets backfired and New Zealand scored 180 runs losing only 3 wickets. Although Kuldeep definitely got one wicket, the Kiwi batsmen also attacked him and scored runs at an average of 4.75.
