New Zealand handed India their first Test series loss at home in 12 years as they gained an unassailable lead in the three-Test series on Saturday with a 113-run win in the Pune Test. It was New Zealand’s first-ever Test series win in India and Tom Latham and Co are now only the third touring side to have bested India in this century. While the Indian skipper lamented the lack of runs put on the board, he believes the loss in Pune and during the ongoing series is a collective failure. “It’s a collective failure. I’m not somebody who would blame just the batters or the bowlers,” Rohit said in the post-match presentation. Having lost the toss and being put to bowl first, India were restricted for a mere 156 runs in response to New Zealand’s 259. Carrying a 103-run lead, New Zealand put together 255 runs in the second innings and were able to restrict India for 245 on Day 3. “Didn’t think we batted well enough to get runs on the board.

In the day and age of T20 cricket, with it’s many twists and turns, few things are as constant as the unfiltered version of Rohit Sharma during pre and post-match chats. Despite a defeat against Lucknow, in the midst of a poor season, the former MI skipper was at his blunt best during a chat with leg-spinner Amit Mishra in Lucknow on Tuesday. In a recently released video by the Lucknow Super Giants on the social media, Rohit is seen chatting with the LSG spinner about his age in his typical Mumbai idiolect. The matter of conjecture? Mishra’s age. “What 40? Mere se teen saal bade ho aap (You are three years elder to me),” Rohit is heard telling the leggie before the latter replies, “I’m 41.” Furthermore, the Indian skipper goes on to comically suggest, “You made debut when we were in our nappies?
