new zealand cricket team
Test series is being organized between India and New Zealand. The Indian team has faced defeat in the first two matches of this three-match Test series. With this, after a long wait of 12 years, a team defeated India in the home Test series. New Zealand captain Tom Latham is one of the few captains to achieve such a feat. Team India was last defeated by the England team in the home Test series in 2012. After that defeat against England, now New Zealand has ended the dominance of Team India. In the last 24 years, i.e. after the year 2000, only four captains have defeated Team India in the home Test series. Let us know when and which captain did this.
Team India lost after 24 years
Team India is now 2-0 behind in this Test series against New Zealand. Earlier in the year 2012, the Indian team was defeated 2-1 by the England team in the 4-match Test series. At that time the captaincy of England was in the hands of Alastair Cook. The captain of Team India was MS Dhoni. Earlier, the Indian team was defeated 2-1 by the Australian team in the 4-match Test series. At that time Australia was being captained by Adam Gilchrist. The captain of Team India was Sourav Ganguly. Four years before that, i.e. in the year 2000, the Indian team was defeated by the South African team. Hansie Cronje was the captain of South Africa at that time. Sachin Tendulkar was captaining the Indian team. Team India was clean swept by South Africa in that two-match Test series.
New Zealand has a chance to clean sweep
In this Test series being played against the Indian team, New Zealand now has a chance to clean sweep Team India. Team India was last clean swept by South Africa in 2000. The last match of the series will be played in Mumbai from 01 November. This is going to be an important match for the Indian team. Team India may have lost this test series, but captain Rohit Sharma would like to win or draw that match so that Team India can survive a clean sweep.
