[@himanshusachdev9213]

Exactly, our batsmen have been underperforming in test for a while now and have been saved by our bowlers both in scoring and taking wickets. Its high time we acknowledge that and work towards improving it.

It was just around the corner. Hasn't this been a pattern for quite some time now? It was lower order and likes of Pant and Jaiswal that were basically pulling India through. Didn't Pant and lower order basically put India in WTC finals the last time? The top order has been faltering for a long time. Now that Pujara and Rahane are gone I just want to see who they are going to blame? But who cares look at how fit Virat Kohli is!!

[@bepawppy5521]

The biggest disappointment is the fact that the senior players have become a burden on the test team and refuse to learn any lessons. We were defeated by Srilanka recently on similar pitches and the oldies looked totally clueless even there. NZ already set an example in both innings on how to play on this surface but other than Jaiswal no one else even tried to put any kind of pressure on the opposition. They just let NZ bowl as were sitting ducks. Now one person will go to attend kirtan instead of trying to practice and address his shortcomings.

This was bound to happen. The symptoms were visible from the England series in 2021 during Covid. And obviously NZ played superbly and had the hunger. The big issue here is Players getting out in the same freakin way and doing nothing about it.

[@firdousahmad2484]

350+ was never going to be an easy chase on a pitch which assisted spinners from day one. It always is a matter of time once a wicket or two fall and ball gets a bit old . And no matter how good a batsman you are, one the age goes against you, the reflexes get slow. This is something Rohit and Virat should consider.

[@mohammedayub8804]

Rohit and Virat shldnt take their places or laurels for granted .Yes they have contributed plenty towards Indian cricket but both of them shld play responsibly and shld understand that youngsters are waiting in the wings and if they are nt performing their are players their to replace them .They shld step up and help the youngsters set the standard in the way test matches shld be played .Both of them failed with the bat in the 2 matches and if they and others play spin really well then im sure india can continue their dominance in home coz we were a good test team in the last 12 years was because our batsmen were able to negotiate spin well at home and its time to look beyond Jadeja and Ashwin as they are their fag end .they are still good bt need to look at future by backing Washington and axar as spin allrounder replacements.

Dude 250 would have been a nightmare for this Indian team. Hell this team can't just bat out one whole day.

[@GDwill]

A Kiwi here and I’m super proud of my team. Santner proved everyone wrong and showed he can be an attacking option in the test match and you have to love how casual he was about it, Full credit to Lathams captaincy it’s been top notch and tbh I couldint really understand some of rohits captaincy, or indias attacking style of batting. You can play your shots and score 4 an over while keeping your wickets like New Zealand did. I still think kohli is class and it’s not his fault he got a 74 in the first test and he’s allways struggled against New Zealand’s bowling attack. You guys need to remember as well as your teams mistakes my New Zealand team played well. Bring on Mumbai where we got embarrassingly bowled out for 68 and 180 last time after Ajaz got all 10, so hopefully we can pick up the pace at that ground where our record isn’t so good.

Heartbreaking series loss for India but congrats to NZ. Aggressive batting is entertaining however we need to be positive and work on our defensive skill. How many matches has Pujara tired bowlers and later batters take advantage when the conditions ease?! Miss him.

[@MS17943]

IPL and the top dollars is the true culprit. Players are not to be blamed. They get more money than they truly deserve. India instead should cap the money and IPL player can make within reasonable limits and then utilize the funds for development of sports allround. Young players become millionaires at 22 /23 with brute power and some raw hitting power with no technique. What will then be incentive for people to better better in their jobs like test cricket? IPL and T20 has destroyed test cricket. India will never be able to produce cricketers like Gavaskar/ GR Viswanath or Rahul Dravid ever. remember if Test cricket dies then T20 will eventually fall soon after this hype cycle ends. This lusty hitting and batting display will not last long

[@harshatheja2191]

In the past 5 years Indian batting started after they lost 4 wickets. Jadeja was the best batter and this shows how blind the experts are

[@Hello9959]

Rohit should step down from captaincy! Previous test match his PR team made KL rahul as scrapegoat. Now in this test who will they make scrapgoat? absolute failure of Rohit as captain and also the player

[@saikrishna8211]

What can he do if 4-5-6 forgot batting.

[@Hello9959]

@@saikrishna8211 first ask him to learn captaincy and batting techniques from 4.. after pitch was rolled before india innings and with new ball first 15 overs , ball comes nicely on bat.. See how jaiswal and gill batter.. rohit dint even play though he is playing in sweet position. SHAME on him

[@mithunyd]

@@saikrishna8211 India lost because team did not have KL Rahul. Just in Kanpur match, Jaiswal and KL had won the match for India against BD's superior quality spinners. Even in BGT 2017, it was KL who played well, scored 64 when entire team scored 105 on Pune pitch. Gill only plays on flat track. Sarfaraz could not even play simple defense, which is cricket 101. In fact KL is a good captain and won series without likes of RS, VK, Bumrah, Jadeja and even head coach Dravid. For some reason Rohit keeps changing KL's batting position and keeps his position uncertain.

[@pavanprabhu3427]

Well i have been a proud indian fan for years now but i cannot believe the pitch that india rolled out at Pune. When you prepare substandard wickets, it brings ordinary spinners into test match like santner and toss plays a crucial role. This is the lesson they learnt from the first test against england. Indian spinners out bowled england spinners on good wickets. If they had prepared a good wicket i surely think india may have equalized the series. You have worlds best fast bowler in Bumrah and you prepared a pitch where he did not have to bowl much! Staggering just staggering, whats the point of having best fast bowler in the world and throw him out of game completely🙃

[@dryn2177]

Lack of tall bowlers like rourkee will hurt india so much especially in foreign country for troubling batters and clear difference in physicality seen between india and other Sena countries.Can’t find the 3 to 4 above 6.5 feeters with skill in a billion population.

[@sreejithraj1270]

It's quite perplexing why a bowler like Arshdeep is not groomed to play test cricket, far better than Siraj.

[@dryn2177]

Whatever all are short bowlers ind need morne morkel,Ambrose type of bowler to trouble batsman with bounce.

[@mithunyd]

India lost because team was under social media pressure to drop KL. Just in Kanpur match, Jaiswal and KL had won the match for India against BD's superior quality spinners. Even in BGT 2017, it was KL who played well, scored 64 when entire team scored 105 on Pune pitch. Gill only plays on flat track. Sarfaraz could not even play simple defense, which is cricket 101.

[@vimalramachandran]

Sai Sudarshan should be given opportunities. He can occupy Kohli’s spot if the latter isn’t finding form.

[@morecharacterswithamix9067]

Given that India won the WC, I don't mind this defeat. I'd rather take this vs winning bi laterals and getting knocked out in ICC tournaments. Also, this is a good kick in the butt for the Indian cricket team. It is not a bad thing to get humbled from time to time, so that you focus on your weakness.

[@oldgold982]

BCCI has no option but to prolong the sagging carrier of Rohit and Virat till WCT end. But to see the pathetic batting of so called these superstar against spinners, they have exposed Indian cricket vulnerability.

[@vimalramachandran]

You say Bumrah should be rested in a crucial test match that we need to win to qualify for the WTC final? Nope, no way. Bumrah may have been off colour in the last two outings, but he can strike form anytime. Those lethal yorkers might mean the difference between winning and losing.

[@icydev]

Can we bring Jurel in place of Kohli who can be (rested)

[@BharatThatIsIndia]

Rohit and Kohli batting performance is a huge concern . If experience players cannot rise to occasion then what os der use in a team? In 2008, Sehwag score quick 83 runs. Jaiswal did the same. But Sachin innings was missing from Virat or Rohit and hence this loss.

[@iamsoumyasaha]

Over confidence will always bring you down. Not a single batsman have the skills to play spin. You win against Bangladesh and you are so convinced that you have become invincible. Bullshit media who creates unnecessary hypes that Team has already reached WTC final. India 0 - NZ 3 in making.

[@ganeshkk7560]

Time for indian selectors to be brave like Pakistan selectors . Drop Kohli like Babar Azam

Indian crying all life

[@Starlord3d3]

If YJ dismissal was turning point then our team needs a transformation. Firstly, it speaks about YJs growth. Hitman and VK needs to introspect about their future. Ashwin is a big time fraud, he was bad outside Asia and now he is ineffective on rank turners. Please respectfully give the place to Axar, Kuldeep. Same with RJ. Youngsters like Gill, SF, Pant - Hitting is not the only way. Take inspiration from our previous coach who did not score a single run for 90 consecutive balls.

[@samayamanthulamanikantavin4373]

Please groom separate red ball batters at least in the middle order, we need specialists who has right technique to fight it out in difficult pitches, everyone says there are tonnes of players who are good, why dont we have, then why dont we have red ball specialists to play test matches 🤔

[@ajitgalani8498]

Why does Jasprit Bumrah need a rest DK? He has bowled 6 overs in the second innings and 8 overs in the first. Why are we so fixated with this "load balancing" when there was not much load - 14 overs over 4 days😮

[@manojchandra5438]

DK should stop this kiss ass analysis. Even Rohit seemed like he’s defending himself and teammates saying this is once in a while not acknowledging the horrendous performance.

[@zahrans]

NZ has no business winning a test series in India. They were coming out of a loss in Sri Lanka where they were badly beaten. Their batsmen and the bowlers were out of form. Their best, genuinely world class batsman was not available. Southee was not the bowler he once was. There was no Boult or Wagner and in Santner they had a bowler who rarely gets wickets when compared to Indian spinners. And yet..... 🤗

[@ozanisarg13]

If Bumrah is one of your greatest bowler,why he couldn't pick 05 wickets in first test eventhough new rookie like O'Rourke suceeded? Look at the lines and lengths their bowler bowled and compare with ours.

[@kinshuksinghania4289]

Indian cricket fans will be disappointed!! But, why should Indian cricket fans not be angry!!?? It is the same problem that has been persisting for years now. Even though you call yourself to be the best team in the world, you are repeating the same cycle without learning and without improving!! Batsmen are very frequently failing against spin in Indian/subcontinent conditions. These aren’t just minor problems, these are batting collapses. 2015 1st Test in SL, 2017 Pune Test, Bangalore Test vs Australia, 2021 Chennai Test vs England, 2023 Indore test vs Australia and now 2024 vs New Zealand. And then there is another batting problem against pace and swing in England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. All these away Test series have had multiple batting collapses and these have resulted in Test match defeats from a very strong position in many Test matches in these countries. South Africa in 2017-18, England in 2018, 2nd innings at MCG in 2018-19 but India won the game against Australia, New Zealand in 2020, 36 all out at Adelaide in 2020-21, WTC final 2021, England in 2021, South Africa in 2021 and 2024, WTC final 2023!!! What are these guys learning and improving!!??

[@Bhavik630]

20:00 - Jasprit Bumrah needs a rest.. Well , he only bowled 8 overs in this match... why does he need rest? him playing is crucial to win the third match which is very important for India not only from WTC POV but more so to avoid the humiliation of a whitewash at home..

[@sharathshivashankar2419]

What is the point of this discussion? Dinesh Karthik should have used his vast cricketing experience to provide an expert analysis and not sugar coat everything! The Australian tour next month is a 5-test match series and it is going to be brutal. To survive and thrive for 5 test matches in Australia, the Indians will have to dig deep stay physically and mentally fit. Each Indian player will have to have specific plans for himself and from the team perspective and execute flawlessly to achieve success.

[@purumehta69]

Pant,Jaiswal Sarfaraz can play at a higher strike rate in test cricket, Let them play but why is Rohit trying to playing only short innings in test match’s ? There is no need to set any intent there. Can’t some players try to play as long as possible in test cricket

[@mahendrashah9097]

Indian batters are only good in clearing the rope on some flat wickets. But they lack basic batting technique to play against tidy pace and spin bowling. This was also evident in the recently played ODI series in Sri Lanka. Unfortunately hardly anybody mentions about working around sound batting technique. We are getting lost in the glamour around the game.

[@dhananjaybhagat8738]

DK I don't see you criticizing Kohli, Rohit and star Indian players on commentary. Most Indian commentators are just busy bootlicking star players. Need to be more harsh when you see a bad cricket being played by so called star players.

[@balasubramaniansankaranara8489]

Virat is focusing on fitness, but what is the use. He is not playing atleast one full session...for this no need to have fitness.... he is not learning from his mistakes... he is not ready to play domestic cricket to correct his mistakes. For 3rd test, dont play him. Send him to aus to play in A series to get back in touch.we can win in india without him and we done too against eng. But we need him to back in form for aus. Without his performances in aus, we cant win in aus.
