Rohit Sharma-led Team India Break 91-year-old Record After Humiliating 3-0 Defeat To New Zealand

India's cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma , has suffered a historic and humiliating defeat at hands of New Zealand, losing Test series 3-0. This marks first time in 91 years that India has been whitewashed in a Test series of three or more games on home soil.

India lost third and final Test match in Mumbai by 25 runs after being bowled out for just 121 runs in final innings. Prior to this, India lost first and second Test matches to register a Test series defeat at home for first time in 12 years. This was also first time New Zealand won a Test series in India since y started touring this part of world in 1955.    

series whitewash is all more shocking considering New Zealand was without ir star batsman Kane Williamson , who was injured. Furrmore, Kiwis h just suffered a 0-2 loss to a transitioning Sri Lankan team before coming to India.

India served New Zealand a win on platter

India should have been able to pull one back. It wasn't an unfair expectation, chase was a mere 147 runs but it was on a track that looked like a minefield to entire home line-up except Rishabh Pant (64).

On Sunday, all Pant needed or wanted was for someone to hang in re. body seemed capable.

From Virat Kohli to skipper Rohit Sharma to Shubman Gill to Sarfaraz Khan, ne looked to have learnt ir lessons.

Five key wickets were lost for a mere 16 runs at start of an embarrassing collapse with Jogeshwari's very own Ajaz Patel making m dance to his tunes for a haul of 11 wickets in match.

left-arm wpinner w has a staggering 25 Test wickets at Wankhede in just two matches, making him most successful overseas bowler at venue after great Ian Botham (22).

With this truly humbling result, Indians were thrown off top position in World Test Championship points table. A spot in final next summer, which once seemed quite certain, will w have to be fought for and that too quite vigorously.

It is first time that an Indian team has been whitewashed in a three-match series. last time India suffered a humiliation of this scale was more than two deces ago in 2000 when it lost 0-2 to South Africa.
