Delhi: The Indian team has lost the Test series on home soil after 12 years. For the last decade, three Indian teams had consistently maintained their dominance at home, but this time New Zealand broke their winning streak. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had selected a strong team for this three-match Test series. But the batsmen could not stand against the spin bowling. Former Pakistan batsman Ahmed Shehzad has also given his reaction on India’s defeat.
These three big changes can happen in international cricket, will teams like South Africa-New Zealand benefit?
In the last 12 years, India had won 18 series at home, but this series came to an end on Saturday. Ahmed Shahzad said on YouTube, “New Zealand came to India and defeated them as if they had the right to do so. They beat him like children and went away. They have made a joke of India. People are saying, ‘paper lions and piles in the house.’
Shahzad told Rohit Sharma and company to be a team of school children
Shehzad further said, “When India was reduced to 46 runs, Rohit had said that ‘everyone has a bad day.’ We accepted it, but the same situation was seen in this match also, the way the Indian team played cricket, it seemed as if they had become complacent. Rohit Sharma says that he does not believe in unnecessary things. But that spirit seemed missing in these two test matches. Watching these matches, it seemed as if school children were playing.”
