For the first time, New Zealand has defeated Team India in an ODI series in India. In the third ODI played in Indore, the Kiwi team defeated India by 41 runs. Virat Kohli, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips were the three century winners of this match. Team India had got the target of 338 runs, Virat remained at the crease till the last overs but his innings of 124 runs could not give victory to India. Know here about those 5 big reasons which became the reason for India’s defeat in Indore.
Nitish Reddy is becoming a burden on Team India
The Indian team is looking for another Hardik Pandya. In his absence, Nitish Kumar Reddy got a chance in the ODI series. In Indore ODI, he gave 53 runs in 8 overs and could not take any wicket. He bowled most of the time in the middle overs, where Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips were seen hitting his balls with ease. With his bowling speed of 125-130 km per hour, he was neither able to beat the batsmen nor take any wicket.
India could not find Christian Clarke’s break
Christian Clarke’s bowling dominated the Indian batsmen in both the ODI matches in Rajkot and Indore. His 3 wickets in Rajkot became a major reason for Team India’s defeat. Now in the third ODI match also he took the wickets of Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
Poor bowling in death overs
Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell had rescued New Zealand from a bad start. Indian bowlers had given away 99 runs in the last 10 overs. Harshit Rana also suffered a lot in the death overs, who took 3 wickets but gave away 84 runs in 10 overs.
batting ran out of steam
The Indian team had to chase the target of 338 runs. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, these three main batsmen of India were flops. In-form batsman KL Rahul could also score only one run. New Zealand’s fast bowlers made good use of variations and within no time India had lost 4 wickets at the score of 71. Virat Kohli tried to fight the battle alone, but failed.
Spin bowling did not work again
Fast bowlers have dominated this entire series. Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja proved expensive in all three matches. Indian spinners had proved expensive in the last two matches, so couldn’t the Team India management go with an additional fast bowler in the third match? In Indore ODI, Jadeja and Kuldeep bowled a total of 12 overs, in which they gave away 89 runs.
