IND vs NZ - This player was the biggest villain of Team India's defeat, has been a flop for long time

IND vs NZ: The first match of the Test series played between India and New Zealand was held in Bengaluru, in which New Zealand won by 8 wickets. This defeat has given a big blow to Team India, especially due to the poor performance of a star player, who is being considered the main reason for the defeat. That player is none other than KL Rahul.

KL Rahul's disappointing performance

KL Rahul's performance in this match against New Zealand was very disappointing. In the first innings, he got out for zero, while in the second innings he could score only 12 runs. The entire Indian batting order failed in the first innings, but the team made a great comeback in the second innings. During this, other batsmen performed well, but Rahul's lack of contribution remained a matter of concern. Apart from this, Rahul also dropped an important catch in this match, due to which fans are considering him the main reason for the defeat.

State of the first Test

In the first Test match, India, batting first, were all out for only 46 runs, which was a shameful performance in Test cricket. New Zealand scored 402 runs in response. The Indian team made a great comeback in their second innings and scored 462 runs, setting a target of 107 runs in front of New Zealand. But New Zealand achieved this target easily, and India lost by 8 wickets.

Possible changes in the next series

KL Rahul's poor form may exclude him from the playing 11 in the next match. Team India has included Washington Sundar in their squad for the second and third Test matches, who can replace Rahul. This decision can be taken considering his current form, which can give someone else a chance in place of Rahul.

After this defeat, Indian cricket fans are worried about KL Rahul's form, and are questioning his presence in the upcoming matches. Now it remains to be seen how the team management handles this issue and which players take the field in the next series.
