India vs New Zealand 1st Test: Many questions are being raised after Team India's defeat in the Bengaluru Test. First of all, Rohit Sharma's wrong decision to bat after winning the toss. Which, in a way, has proved to be the turning point of this match. After the first innings, Rohit also admitted that it was a wrong decision for him to bat after winning the toss and he was not able to understand the pitch. However, New Zealand was also going to make the same mistake. Which was revealed by the Kiwi captain after the match.
New Zealand escaped defeat
After winning the Bengaluru Test match, New Zealand team captain Tom Latham said, “We were actually going to bat first. It was good to lose the toss in the end.” That means, if the result of the toss had been in favor of New Zealand, then Tom Latham was also going to decide to bat first. If this had happened then the result of today's match could have been different. But now everything is in favor of the Kiwi team.
