'Clueless captain Rohit Sharma' trends no.1 after India’s humiliating Bengaluru Test loss to New Zealand

Fans on Twitter didn't go easy on India National Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma after the team faced a loss against the New Zealand National Cricket Team in the first Test. The match took place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Rohit Sharma didn't have a great game as the captain of the India Team against New Zealand in the first Test. The hosts faced a disappointing 8-wicket loss against the Kiwis, and it was the first time that the visitors won the game on Indian soil in a long time of 36 years.

Rohit Sharma's decision to bat first in overcast conditions was the major reason behind India's loss

Rohit's decision to bat first in overcast conditions was the major reason behind India losing the game. As a result, the hosts got all for just 46 runs, and from that, it was only a catching game for them as New Zealand found themselves way ahead right from the first session of the game.

Rohit also wasn't impressive with his leadership in the game. The opening batter didn't make use of the bowlers to the full extent, especially Ravichandran Ashwin. The off-spinner was brought into the attack very late and even commentators pointed that out, saying that the skipper missed the trick.

Rohit Sharma had a poor outing as a player

Rohit also had a poor outing as a player. He failed to get going with the bat first innings and also dropped a few catches. Even though he played an innings of 52 runs in the second innings, it wasn't enough as India had conceded a massive lead of 356 runs, which was highest by New Zealand in India.

Rohit would now be keen to make a strong comeback in the second Test. The skipper himself came to attend the press conference and took the blame on him. He would be hoping to lead from the front and help Team level the series.

Fans on Twitter slam Rohit Sharma after India's loss in first Test against New Zealand
