Team India did not have a good start in the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand. Team India could only get the happiness of winning the toss but after that everything went against it. In the first innings, the Indian team was all out after scoring only 46 runs, which surprised everyone. Captain Rohit Sharma's decision to bat first after winning the toss has come under question and he is being continuously criticized. However, after the end of the day's play, the Indian captain came in front of the media and admitted his mistake. During this, Rohit directly told the journalists – use the sword. Now the question is why did Rohit say this?

The first match of the series could start on Thursday 17 October at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The first day's play was canceled due to rain. In such a situation, the match started on the second day and the Indian captain surprised everyone by deciding to bat first despite winning the toss. The reason why everyone was surprised also came to light in the next few hours as Team India collapsed for just 46 runs, which is also its lowest score in India. 5 batsmen of Team India could not even open their account.

Why did Rohit say- use the sword?

After this, the Kiwi team took the lead in the match with its strong batting. In such a situation, after the end of the day's play, captain Rohit Sharma came to the press conference, where he was asked some sharp questions. But before anyone could ask him anything, the Indian captain, as soon as he sat on his seat, said – 'Shoot the sword'. Actually, Rohit had said this in a joking manner to the journalists, who were ready with their questions. Regarding the tough questions being asked regarding the team's performance and his decisions, Rohit asked the journalists to start wielding their swords i.e. start asking their questions.

The captain admitted his mistake

Rohit's style may have been funny in the beginning but as he was asked questions, seriousness was visible in his face and answers. The Indian captain admitted that his decision to elect to bat after winning the toss proved wrong and this happened because he made a mistake in reading the pitch. Rohit admitted that he found this pitch flat but it proved to have a lot of life and the fast bowlers got help in the first 2-3 hours, which was enough to end Team India's game in the first innings.
