With the defeat of 113 runs in the Pune Test match, Team India has lost the Test series against New Zealand. Team India suffered a crushing defeat in the first and second matches of this three-match series. In this way, for the first time in 12 years, the Indian team has faced defeat in a Test series at home. After the team's defeat, captain Rohit Sharma answered the questions asked in the press conference on the reasons for the defeat and during this he said something which surprised. The Indian captain said that after the defeat of these two matches, there is no need for post-mortem or overreaction. Rohit even said that such results happen once in 12 years.

In the first test match played in Bengaluru, New Zealand surprised everyone by winning by 8 wickets. Then he won the Pune Test within 3 days and captured the series, with one match still left. This is the first time after the defeat in the home Test series against England in 2012, that such a situation has happened to Team India. In such a situation, it is natural to raise questions on the team's performance and in the press conference after the match, many questions were raised on the mistakes of the team and the ability of the players, on which Rohit defended his teammates but also gave some strange answers.

Team India had to face defeat for the first time after winning 18 consecutive series at home and captain Rohit, citing this, said that sometimes such results come. The Indian captain said that the team has won 18 consecutive series and now has lost 2 test matches, which shows that the team has done well for a long time and the players have performed well. Talking about not thinking too much about these two defeats, Rohit said that 2-3 innings were bad for the batsmen and this happens in some series.

He also said that despite this result, he does not want to do any kind of post-mortem nor does he want to overhaul the entire system by showing any overreaction to the performance of his players. Rohit also said that he will not doubt the ability of any player because these same players have made the team win many matches in the past also. However, the Indian captain definitely said that the batsmen will be talked to separately and their innings will be discussed.
