India lost the first Test in Bengaluru by eight wickets, while India lost the second Test in Pune by 113 runs. Now Team India will play in the last match of the three-match series to save its honor and the series will conclude with the third Test, which will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from November 1.

Reacting to India's series defeat, Ahmed Shehzad has called Rohit Sharma's team paper lions. Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said, “New Zealand came to India and beat them as if they had the right to do so, beat them like children and went away. He has made fun of India. People are now saying, 'The paper lions are piled up at home.'

Speaking further, Shehzad said, “When India were out for 46 (in the first Test), Rohit Sharma said, 'Everyone has a bad day.' And we accept it. Correct. But even in this Test match, the way you have played cricket, it seems you have become complacent. Rohit Sharma says that he does not believe in unnecessary talk, but that feeling was missing in the last two Test matches. Both these matches have been played in such a way that it seems like school children are playing.”
