The Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, suffered an embarrassing 3-0 whitewash at the hands of New Zealand in a recently-concluded Test series at home. Notably, this is the first time India have faced a clean sweep on home soil in a Test series of three or more matches. The Indian batters failed miserably against the New Zealand spinners, who used the conditions better than the host team. Former India captain and batting great Sunil Gavaskar criticised the Indian side for its flop show. Stating that India were not ready for the series, the legend gave an example of how Sachin Tendulkar prepared himself for an important series back in 1998.
