'If you play like this, you can never win' Irfan Pathan got angry at Virat-Rohit, said – 'Top players are not playing domestically'
3 match home against New Zealand test series After India's shameful defeat in 2017, Indian cricket fans and former cricketers are fiercely targeting Team India. In this series, the name of former all-rounder Irfan Pathan has also been included, who has taken on senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for not playing domestic cricket.
New Zealand whitewashed India on its own soil and this is an achievement in the history of Indian cricket which no other team had been able to achieve before the Kiwi team. After dominating the first two Tests in Bengaluru and Pune, the visitors stunned the hosts in the final Test in Mumbai to snatch victory from the clutches of defeat. The Kiwi spinners defended 147 to seal a 25-run win, with Ajaz Patel taking two five-wicket hauls.
That being said, the two biggest disappointments of the humiliating Test series were seniors Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Only one half-century each was seen from the bat of these two in the entire series. This is why Irfan Pathan also indirectly took a dig at Rohit and Virat's lack of preparation and match practice by tweeting.
Posting from his official “We rarely play on turning surfaces. Also, the top players are not playing domestic cricket. This can hurt us in the long run.”
