In the three-match Test series, Team India is trailing 0-1 after losing the first match. New Zealand team defeated India by 8 wickets in Bengaluru Test. The fans are very disappointed with this defeat against New Zealand at home after 36 years and they are angry at the Indian captain. He believes that the biggest responsibility for this defeat is the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Fans have counted his mistakes in the Bengaluru Test on social media. But the biggest anger among the fans is about not giving the ball to Ashwin early on the last day of the match. Let us tell you that when Team India, which came to save 106, had only 10 runs left, the ball was handed over to Ashwin.

Fans raised questions on Rohit's captaincy

Indian fans are angry at Rohit Sharma for calling Ashwin for bowling after Team India's defeat was certain. He says that he has never seen such bad captaincy. Some fans have posted a video of Ashwin's exploits, in which Team India won on his own strength. India had defeated Australia by defending 187 runs in Bengaluru itself. In that match, Ashwin took 5 wickets for 41 runs. The entire Australian team was bundled out for just 112 runs. Let us tell you that in the second innings, Rohit gave Ashwin a chance to bowl only 2 overs. In the first innings, he gave 94 runs in 16 overs and could not take any wicket.

Rohit made this big mistake on the fifth day

In the Bengaluru Test, India had set a small target of 107 runs for New Zealand. It was a big challenge to save it but Jasprit Bumrah breathed life into the game by taking a wicket on the second ball of the fifth day. After this the expectations of Team India increased. Only 22 runs were scored in the first 12 overs, while the second wicket also fell in the 13th over. After this, Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Ravindra Jadeja from one end but he could not get success.

After this he called Kuldeep Yadav to bowl but did not give the ball to Ashwin, the most experienced and senior bowler of the team. Kuldeep gave away 26 runs in 3 overs, while Jadeja gave away 28 runs in 7.4 overs. Due to this the competition completely got out of hand. When New Zealand needed only 10 runs to win, he got a chance to bowl. By this time the defeat of Team India was certain.
