IND vs NZ: Third Test for WTC will be do or die…, Team India needs victory at any cost against New Zealand in Mumbai?
Cricket News Desk. Team India had to face defeat in the Pune test match against New Zealand. With this defeat, India lost the Test series against New Zealand and made many unwanted records in its name. The defeat was not limited to this, its impact extended from the morale of the team to the point table of the World Test Championship. The third and last match of the series will be played at the historic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from November 1.
Mumbai Test must be won at any cost
Now Rohit and company have the challenge of not only saving respect in the last Test match against the Kiwi team at Wankhede, but also winning the match keeping the WTC in mind. Team India's flop show on national soil has raised many questions. Coach, captain and veteran batsman Virat Kohli is also in his circle. Neither Gambhir's coaching nor captain Rohit Sharma's strategy worked against New Zealand. At the same time, Virat Kohli is continuously struggling with the bat. Even Jasprit Bumrah's bowling did not show that old edge.
If you lose, you will definitely face another stigma.
Now the question is that when only the senior players kneel down, then what can be expected from the other players. For the first time in the last 12 years, Team India has faced defeat in a Test series at home from any team and now it is facing a big threat. New Zealand has created history but now Team India would like to avoid a clean sweep. If the Kiwis manage to win the Wankhede Test as well, it will be a big record as the Indian cricket team has never won a series of three or more Test matches at home.
The team will also practice on Diwali
According to reports, Team India will practice in Mumbai on 30th and 31st October before the third Test. All players will have to participate in this session. Even senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah will not get rest during Diwali. At present, the struggle is going on for Team India to make WTC equation, form of players, strong playing-11 and better strategy.
