Delhi: Great batsman Sachin Tendulkar has reacted to India’s defeat in the recent home Test series against New Zealand. Master Blaster raised the question where the team made a mistake. He praised star batsman Shubman Gill’s 90-run innings in the first innings of the first Test and wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant’s brilliant batting in both the innings. Tendulkar said that the way Pant adapted to challenging situations was worthy of praise.
New Zealand became the first team to defeat India 3-0 in a Test at home, defeated the hosts
India has lost the Test series at home after 12 years. New Zealand won the series 3-0 against the team captained by Rohit Sharma. “Losing 3-0 at home is very difficult and requires introspection,” Tendulkar wrote on Twitter. Was it lack of preparation, poor shot selection or lack of match practice?” He said that Shubman Gill showed flexibility in the first innings and Rishabh Pant performed brilliantly in both the innings.
Losing 3-0 at home is a tough pill to swallow, and it calls for introspection.

Tom Latham-led New Zealand team completed a historic 3-0 clean sweep against India by winning the third Test by 25 runs at the Wankhede Stadium. This is the first time that India has been whitewashed in a series of three or more Test matches at home. New Zealand has now become the fourth team to whitewash India in such a series.
Rohit Sharma also gave a big statement
At the same time, Indian captain Rohit Sharma termed the 3-0 defeat at home as difficult and said, “We accept that we did not play good cricket and New Zealand performed better than us. “We failed to score runs in the first two matches and failed to chase the target in this match.”
