🏏NZ Tour of India 2024: 3rd Test: Nov 1- 5: Day 3: Pg 42🏏 - Page 60

Tom Latham | New Zealand captain: Very ecstatic. The boys have done a fantastic job over the last three Test matches. We are pretty happy. Just being able to adapt to each grounds, the seamers did a great job in Bangalore. Guys chipped in at different times. Ajaz loves bowling here in Mumbai. An all-round team performance. We just want to keep it simple here. Tried to be more proactive. We just tried to do our best and guys chipped in and very happy to stand at this position. We didn't play that bad over there (in Sri Lanka). We came here, we bowled really well this morning. Girls winning the World Cup was fantastic. To be in this position, we could have only dreamt.

Latham collects the trophy and joins his team-mates as they pose beind the WINNERS hoarding. This is his first assignment as New Zealand's Test captain and his team has achieved what was considered almost impossible.

Not defending GG

But it is Virat and Rohit who needs to see

Sabse bakwas performance unki rahi hain puri series.

They are the reason why we lost

Rohit ne joh bakwas field placements kiye, then batsman didn't score at all.

Batsman agar 6 innings mein se ek bhi baar run nahi banayega toh problem toh hoga hi

They have answered their critics earlier, hopefully they'll do the same again

NZ came to India having lost both the Tests in Sri Lanka, following which Tim Southee stepped down as the captain. They missed the services of Kane Williamson for this series - their best batsman of this generation. Not many backed them to even compete against an experienced Indian team. But the Kiwis played incredibly as a team. Bowled out India for 46 on a seam-friendly deck in Bengaluru which was the start of something spectacular. Mitchell Santner completely outbowled the experienced duo Ashwin-Jadeja in Pune and finished with 13 wickets. And, then, here in Mumbai, Ajaz Patel starred with the ball in Santner's absence, coupled with crucial contributions from Young and Mitchell with the bat in both the innings.

Bhai

Aus se naa haarein

Also they canceled India v India A ka match

Who knows they got scared ki India A se haar jayenge

From India's perspective, a lot of questions will be raised. They've suffered collapses in all the six innings and they've been outplayed by New Zealand in all the facets of the game. Can they recover from this embarrassing loss quickly? The Border–Gavaskar Trophy will commence on November 22 and India have an uphill task ahead of them to make it to the WTC final. They have to win 5-0 or 4-0 in Australia not to depend on other results. SA (69.4%) or SL (69.2%) and NZ (64.3%) can pip India even of they win 4-1 (they will get to 64.0%). Six teams are still in the hunt to make it to the final and it's time to bring curtains down on this exciting Test series. For now, it's goodbye...

To qualify for wtc final India needs to beat Aus by 4-1 which is kind of impossible

BGT haar gaye to Rohit pakka test retirement le lega.Then may be pant will be the next captain.
