New Delhi. Rohit Sharma is very sad after losing the home test series against New Zealand. This happened for the first time in Indian Test history when the New Zealand team came here and succeeded in winning the Test series. After almost 70 years, the Kiwi team won the Test series in India for the first time. With this, Team India's victory chariot of winning 18 consecutive Test series at home also stopped. New Zealand is ahead 2-0 in the 3-match series. After losing the series, the path of the Indian team to reach the final of the World Test Championship has also become a bit difficult. When Rohit Sharma was asked, he said that he is not yet eyeing the WTC final.
After losing the second Test match against New Zealand, India's chances of reaching the final of the World Test Championship have also suffered a setback. And Rohit is well aware of this. Rohit Sharma, 'I am hurt because we had to face defeat. I can't think right now about what's going to happen next and whether it might affect our chances (of reaching the final of the World Test Championship). We didn't perform well and we lost the series which hurts. We need to work on some things as a unit.
Culprits of defeat: 3 reasons… due to which Team India lost all four in its own home, otherwise we would have captured the test series.

India vs New Zealand 3rd test from 1st November
The third and last Test match between India and New Zealand will be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from November 1. Rohit has expressed hope of good performance in the third test match. According to Rohit, 'We have to perform well at Wankhede. And we will have to try to win that test match. This is a collective failure. I am not one of those people who blame the batsmen or the bowlers. We have to enter Wankhede with better intentions and better strategy.
'We did not expect this'
Rohit Sharma said that this is disappointing. And we did not expect this. We have to give credit to New Zealand because they performed better than us. We failed to respond to his challenge. Indian batting was a flop in the first two test matches of the current series. Barring the sporadic performance of one or two players, the rest disappointed.
