india vs new zealand
The first test match is being played between India and New Zealand in Bengaluru. After the first day was washed out in the rain, when Team India came out to bat on the second day, no one would have imagined that the condition of the team would become so bad. The Indian team could not even cross the 50-run mark. In front of the lethal bowling of New Zealand, the entire Indian team collapsed for just 46 runs. 5 batsmen of the Indian team could not even open their account. For the first time in the history of Test cricket, the Indian team got to see such a day when 5 of the top-8 batsmen of the team could not even open their account. From this it can be estimated how big a crisis has deepened in the batting of the Indian team. This shameful performance of Team India may surprise many people but India TV had already predicted that the team’s batting is not as strong as it appears to be.
When the Indian team registered a one-sided victory in the Test series against Bangladesh, everyone was praising the team, but it was India TV which had prominently raised the issue of batting crisis of the Indian team even before this series. India TV, in its Sunday special story, had openly talked about the weaknesses of the Indian team’s batting and told what a big crisis Team India’s batting is going through at the moment.
India TV had made a big disclosure
India TV, in its Sunday special story ‘Team India’s batting crisis’ of 22 September 2024, had told with the help of intensive research and statistics that the void that the Indian team’s batting is going through at the moment, was never seen before. . This is the reason why the Indian Lions were bundled out for less than 50 runs in front of the quality bowling of New Zealand.
Every cricket fan is well aware that Indian cricket is currently going through a phase of change. Stars like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are moving towards their retirement and to replace them, Team India is continuously trying many young batsmen but till now no one has been able to make a permanent place in the team. Be it top order or middle order.
Team India faces a big challenge
There was a time when Team India’s top order faltered and batsmen like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane used to stand firm. But now time has passed. Both have been out of the team due to poor form. It seems almost impossible for both of them to return. In such a situation, the problem of strong batting is facing Team India. The Indian team will have to identify the weaknesses of its batting as soon as possible and find solutions to them, otherwise Team India will have to be prepared for a worse situation on the Australia tour.
