We lost this test match purely because of captaincy blunder

When we needed Akash Deep he was dropped & Kuldeep was added. If we have our 3rd Seamer we would have different result today . He can bat he can ball better in this condition than Siraj n somewhat Bumrah also . It was blunder from Gautam Gambhir & Rohit on team selection.

You can point out individuals but main reason was blunder at the toss to bat first and letting that Rachin - Southee partnership to score 137 runs.

Yeah because he read the conditions wrong wanted to bat first so went with 3 spinners. If we had bowled first then definitely would've played 3 seamers.

Batting first wasn't the problem, the collapse was, the conditions did change which NZ capitalised, if not the collapse, India would've got to play in those conditions as well.
And then in the second innings, every pure batsman, except KL, contributed, That's why there's a lot of pin pointing at KL

Bumrah tried his best to stop new zealand with 7 ovs spell

Batting first is a problem bro you have to take decision based on current conditions plus XI was not upto the point
After captaincy blunder the main reason for loss is kl Rahul who was flopped in both the innings plus can't able to take the catch of kiwi opener in first innings
And most importantly bowlers got relaxed and let the partnership for 8 wicket in excess of 150 if they broke the partnership then kiwis would be chasing the target of 250 on 5th day wicket which is not easy and result would definitely be different

For the second part, you can blame Ashwin and Siraj right?
I am not blaming Jadeja's batting, but after 2021 England home series Axar should have got chance regularly ahead of Kuldeep Yadav, that's how roles would have got cleared to Ashwin and Jadeja. Jadeja main thing is batting in this team. If not, there is no place for him in this team. He should go and rest and Axar should get chance at Pune and Mumbai. Will be definitely helpful. You cannot select players like Rahul on Indian pitches on the basis of two centuries in South Africa. He made huge blunder in final. Nobody can forget that. That trophy was ours.


By your logic, WC2003 loss was never responsibility of Zak, Nehra and Srinath. You never gave chance to Agarkar and Bangar strengthen bowling over PATHETIC Dinesh Mongia. Who on the earth selects second spinner on south African pitches?

People should stop justifying/defending Rahul. He averages 21 in Australia and people just talk about one century at six. I mean, they forgot 2018 tour or what?
