In a candid press meeting, India cricket captain Rohit Sharma characterized the recent 3-0 home series defeat to New Zealand as a particularly low point in his illustrious career. He openly took responsibility for both his personal lapses in leadership and a lack of performance with the bat.

This marks a historic moment, as the New Zealand team has become the first to secure a whitewash against India at home in a series of three or more matches.
