In the second test match played in Pune, Team India had to face a shameful defeat at the hands of New Zealand. The Kiwi team performed brilliantly and won the Test series for the first time on Indian soil. After Bengaluru, the shameful performance of Indian batsmen continued in Pune also. With the defeat in the second consecutive Test match, Team India's path to reach the WTC final has also become difficult. The winning percentage of the Indian team has decreased from 68.06 to 62.82. With this, the New Zealand team has taken a huge leap in the points table of the World Test Championship.
Big loss due to defeat
After the defeat in the Bengaluru Test, Team India's winning percentage was 68.06. However, after the defeat in the second Test match of the series, Rohit's platoon is now lagging badly in the WTC table. Team India's winning percentage has now become 62.82. Now the dominance of the Indian team in the points table is also in danger. Australia are second in the World Test Championship points table with a win percentage of 62.5. That means, if Team India does not win the third test match against New Zealand, then Rohit's army may have to lose the number one position.
With this, New Zealand has got the big advantage of winning two consecutive test matches. The Kiwi team has taken a long jump and achieved fourth position. New Zealand's victory percentage has reached 50. Sri Lanka, which is in third place, has a winning percentage of 55.56.
Team India had to face a crushing defeat
The shameful performance of Indian batsmen continued in the second test match played in Pune also. After being out for just 156 runs in the first innings, the Indian batsmen collapsed for just 245 runs while chasing the target of 359 runs in the second innings. Captain Rohit Sharma was out after scoring only 8 runs, while Virat Kohli's bat once again remained calm and he could score only 17 runs. Shubman Gill also flopped with the bat and was out after scoring 23 runs. Rishabh Pant could not even open his account, Sarfaraz Khan also disappointed with his performance. Ravindra Jadeja fought till the end, but he could not stop the team from defeat.
New Zealand won the series for the first time
New Zealand has won the Test series on Indian soil for the first time. The Kiwi team, which won the Test match against Team India in Bengaluru after 36 years, also performed strongly in Pune. With this, the Indian team has lost a Test series on its soil after 12 years. Earlier in 2012, England had defeated India at home. Team India had tasted victory in 18 out of the last 19 Test series, but in the 20th series, Rohit's army could not maintain this record.
