The condition of Team India is going from bad to worse in the Bengaluru Test. First the entire team collapsed for 46 runs and New Zealand has taken a lead of more than 300 runs. Captain Rohit Sharma's decision to bat first after winning the toss is costing the entire team. However, he accepted his mistake. But no lesson was learned from this. Even on the third day of the game, he made a big mistake, as a result of which New Zealand scored 165 runs in the first session. Actually, in the first session, all three Indian spinners Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin were getting beaten. Despite this, he did not try to attack Bumrah by calling him back.

New Zealand scored runs

The New Zealand team started the third day with 181 runs at the loss of 3 wickets. In the first session, Mohammad Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah bowled lethally and gave 2 blows. After this Ravindra Jadeja came on the attack and took 3 wickets. With this, New Zealand's score became 233 runs for 7 wickets and Team India started making a comeback. Then Rachin Ravindra and Tim Southee started attacking. At this time Jadeja was bowling from one end and Kuldeep from the other end.

Runs started scoring rapidly due to New Zealand's counter attack. Then the Indian captain brought Ashwin but he also got beaten. Despite this, Rohit stuck with his three spinners. He did not give the ball to the team's most lethal bowler Jasprit Bumrah. The result was that New Zealand scored 85 runs in the last 10 overs of the first session. However, he definitely gave the last over of the session to Siraj, in which 10 runs were scored. 31 overs were bowled in the entire session, in which a total of 165 runs were scored.

Delay in bringing Bumrah

Even cricket experts were surprised by Bumrah not giving the ball before lunch despite all three spinners being beaten. Former cricketer Saba Karim also expressed surprise at Rohit's decision. Apart from this, everyone was surprised when he continued bowling with the old ball despite the availability of the new ball. According to him this was a big mistake. However, after the lunch break, Jasprit Bumrah started bowling. Let us tell you that Chin Ravindra scored a century and Tim Southee scored a half-century. Whereas New Zealand has taken a lead of more than 300 runs.
