But despite fielding a strong batting lineup, the hosts had no answers to Matt Henry and William O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s seam and swing at M Chinnaswamy.<\/p>\n<p>Five players, including <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/virat-kohli\" rel=\"noopener\">Virat Kohli<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/kl-rahul\" rel=\"noopener\">KL Rahul<\/a>, registered ducks as Rishabh Pant emerged as the best batter with the top score of only 20. With two more matches to go on before the crucial Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting next month, India&#8217;s batting is looking in a deep crisis once again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both Rohit and Virat have struggled for consistent with a bat in red-ball cricket this year while the likes of Shubman Gill and KL Rahul have failed to provide any stability in the middle order in the post-Ajinkya\u00a0Rahane and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/cheteshwar-pujara\" rel=\"noopener\">Cheteshwar Pujara<\/a> era.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Captain Rohit Sharma, who now has scored 44 runs in his last 5 Test innings, revealed a &#8216;bad call&#8217; to bat first on a rain-hit wicket in Bengaluru. India&#8217;s batting attack showed no resistance against the Kiwis&#8217; pace attack and was put under pressure from the very beginning.\u00a0Rohit conceded India&#8217;s failed effort\u00a0to challenge under pressure and said it&#8217;s okay to make some bad calls after some impressive performances\u00a0in red-ball cricket.    <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You see and you try and make the judgement. Sometimes you make the right call, sometimes you don&#8217;t, and I was on the other side of it this time around,&#8221; Rohit said. &#8220;I&#8217;m hurting a little bit because I made that call. But see, for us as a team, I think these are the challenges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, what if we put ourselves under pressure a little bit? We want to play well. We want to challenge ourselves. This time around, it didn&#8217;t come off, the challenges that were thrown at us. We didn&#8217;t respond well, and we found ourselves in a situation where we got bowled out for 46 runs. As a captain, it definitely hurts to see that number, but in 365 days you&#8217;ll make two or three bad calls. That&#8217;s okay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/india-s-batting-crisis-takes-centre-stage-in-bengaluru-as-new-zealand-pacers-run-riot-2024-10-17-957678\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : AP Indian cricketers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in Bengaluru on October 17, 2024 India men&#8217;s cricket team shattered multiple records but all for wrong reasons on Day 2 of the opening Test match against New Zealand in Chennai.
