India Crumbles Against New Zealand Despite Kohli's Century; Series Lost

  • India lost to New Zealand in the third ODI despite Virat Kohli's brilliant 124 runs, failing to chase 338 and getting all-out for 296.
  • The defeat led to New Zealand securing a historic series victory against India.
  • Key reasons for India's loss include a lack of confidence in the bowling department and poor form from Jadeja, Arshdeep, and Rana.
  • Questions are being raised about Gautam Gambhir's coaching strategy and Shubman Gill's captaincy style, which lacked aggression.
  • The top batting order, including Rohit, Gill, Shreyas, and Rahul, failed to perform, leading to over-reliance on Kohli.

Why It Matters: Despite Virat Kohli's century, India lost the ODI series to New Zealand due to bowling and batting failures.
