IND vs NZ: Team India's 'pathetic' batting on Day 3 gets fans angry as they lose 5 wickets within 8 overs
Many fans on X (formerly known as Twitter) even want Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara to be brought back into the team.
Team India's 'pathetic' batting
What is going on with Team India's batting? They dismissed New Zealand for 174 runs in the third and final Test at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, but they are struggling to score against the Kiwi bowlers. Within 8 overs, the Men in Blue scored 28 runs and lost their top order, with 5 wickets falling quickly.
Skipper Rohit Sharma went for 11 off 11 balls, Shubman Gill scored 1 off 4, Virat Kohli managed just 1 off 7, Yashasvi Jaiswal contributed 5 off 16, and Sarfaraz Khan fell for 1 off 2. Kohli's 5 runs is his lowest aggregate in a Test where he batted twice. He faced 13 balls is the joint lowest for him in a Test where he batted in both innings.
Fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their frustration over India's batting, calling it "pathetic" and even wanting Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara to be brought back into the team.
Earlier in the morning, India wrapped up New Zealand's innings quickly, taking just 14 balls to claim the final wicket. So far, after 8 overs, India has scored 31 runs and lost 5 wickets, needing 116 runs to win. Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja are at the crease, and fans are hoping these two can stabilize the innings.
