In the fourth T20 match against New Zealand, the Indian team had to face a crushing defeat by 87 runs. After this defeat, captain Shreyas Iyer said that many players of the team did not play much cricket in the conditions of New Zealand as a major reason for the defeat. During the post-match conversation, he said that there are many players in the Indian team who do not have much experience of playing in New Zealand and some players have come here to play for the first time.

However, after this argument of the captain, questions are also being raised on the strategy of the team management. After all, how did the team which had thrashed the New Zealand bowlers and scored 118 runs in the power play in the last match, completely disintegrated in the very next match?

The most surprising change in the playing eleven of the Indian team in this match was the exclusion of Vaibhav Suryavanshi. In the last match, Vaibhav, along with Abhishek Sharma, took the New Zealand bowlers to task and created history with his explosive batting.

Despite this, he was sat out in the fourth T20. It is believed that Vaibhav had to lose his place for the return of Ishan Kishan. But this decision of the team management completely backfired. Batting first in Auckland, New Zealand scored a huge score of 259 runs in 20 overs. Glenn Phillips played a stormy innings of 107 runs in just 49 balls, while Michael Bracewell also thrashed the Indian bowlers by scoring 65 runs in 25 balls.

The Indian team, which came to chase the huge target of 260 runs, had a very bad start. Sanju Samson lost his wicket on the second ball, while on the fifth ball, Ishan Kishan also returned to the pavilion without opening his account.

After this, there were expectations from Abhishek Sharma, but he too was out after scoring 27 runs. Due to continuous falling of wickets, the Indian team could not make a comeback in the match and the entire team fell far behind the set target. India could score only 172 runs and New Zealand won the match by 87 runs. In this way, the failure of the Indian batting further increased the problems of the poor performance of the bowlers.

However, after this defeat, the biggest question arising is regarding the team's strategy.

When India had taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series, couldn't a young and explosive batsman like Vaibhav Suryavanshi be given another chance? Is a young player's place not secure in the team despite record-breaking performances? At the same time, Shreyas Iyer's argument regarding the conditions in New Zealand has also become a topic of discussion. After all, how did the team which had presented a brilliant example of aggressive batting in the last match suddenly become so weak? Now questions are also being raised on the strategy of Gautam Gambhir and Shreyas Iyer that where did Team India's plan of playing aggressive cricket disappear in front of the huge target of 260 runs.
