New Delhi: Indian Cricket Team (India vs New Zealand). Team India is being trolled fiercely on social media. You must know the reason. If there is any confusion, then let us tell you that New Zealand has whitewashed us 3-0 in the Test series. That too in our own home. Team India, which had already lost the series, was expected to save its honour in the Wankhede Test. But what happened here has been recorded as a black day or to a large extent the darkest day in the history of Indian cricket.
In a country where cricket is loved so much, if the condition of Team India is like this, then it is natural for people to get angry. As soon as the match ended or just before it started, people started expressing their anger on the team captained by Rohit Sharma through social media. Be it Rohit, Virat, coach Gambhir, everyone was targeted by cricket fans. We are going to tell you about some of these public reactions.

On the third day of the match, New Zealand got all out for 174 runs in their second innings. In such a situation, Team India got a target of 147 runs.

The first wicket fell at the score of 13. In the form of Rohit Sharma. He got out after scoring 11 runs. After this, there was a fall of wickets. By 29 runs, half the team returned to the pavilion. Shubman got out after scoring one, Virat got out after scoring one, Yashasvi got out after scoring five and Sarfaraz got out after scoring one run.
Rishabh Pant not only stood firm at one end, but he also thrashed the New Zealand bowlers. By making small partnerships first with Jadeja and then with Washington Sundar, he kept Team India in the match. But his wicket also fell at the score of 107. Pant scored 64 runs in 57 balls. Ashwin got out after scoring eight runs. While Glenn Phillips bowled Akash Deep on zero. Then Ajaz Patel bowled Sundar and bundled out Team India for 121 runs and New Zealand defeated Team India 3-0 in the Test series.
