Low point of my career says Rohit after India’s whitewash loss against New Zealand
Fifty three minutes into the post-lunch session, Washington Sundar attempted a desperate heave off Ajaz Patel, missed it and the ball – not for the first time on Sunday (November 2, 2024) – thudded into the stumps. Washington remained on his knees aghast, while the New Zealand squad – the perennially well-behaved lot in cricket world – celebrated as vociferously as Kiwi cricketers could. And a boisterous Wankhede Stadium crowd had been silenced. Rohit Sharma on Sunday (November 3, 2024) described the unprecedented 0-3 whitewash to New Zealand at home as “a very low point of my career” and took full responsibility for the debacle in the Test series. India slipped to second position in the World Test Championship rankings after the 0-3 loss against New Zealand. Australia jumped to the top spot.
