Rohit Sharma Reflects on India's Historic Home Whitewash by New Zealand

India's captain Rohit Sharma termed the 0-3 Test series defeat to New Zealand at home as a career low point, assuming responsibility for the losses. India faced a historic defeat, with consecutive losses in the series against a New Zealand team missing key player Kane Williamson.

Rohit Sharma, India's cricket team captain, described the devastating 0-3 whitewash by New Zealand at home as a significant low point in his career. He took full responsibility for the performance and stated that losing a Test series in India was a bitter pill to swallow.

Set a target of 147, India crumbled for 121 in the third Test, marking the first time India has suffered such a defeat at home. Sharma acknowledged that they failed as a unit, and his performance, both as a captain and a batsman, did not meet expectations.

He is determined to review his approach, especially his batting style, following the disappointing series. With a challenging tour to Australia next, Sharma emphasized the importance of mental readiness for the team, while praising the new coaching staff for their efforts in adapting to their roles.
