"Hurting, I Couldn't Read...": Rohit Sharma Breaks Silence On 'Misjudgment' To Bat First vs New Zealand

India captain Rohit Sharma admitted to a costly misjudgment of the pitch at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium after India suffered a batting collapse, being bowled out for just 46 runs in the first Test against New Zealand. This marked India's lowest-ever Test score at home and their third-lowest in history. Speaking after the second day's play, Rohit reflected on the decision to bat first under overcast conditions, a call that backfired disastrously for the hosts. "We thought it wouldn't help the seamers much after the first session or so. There wasn't much grass either. We expected it to be much flatter than it turned out to be. It was a misjudgment on my part, and I couldn't read the pitch well. I am hurting to see this score of 46 as a captain as it was my call to bat first. But one or two bad calls in a year is quite alright," Rohit admitted.

This is the first instance for India where four of the top seven batters have got out for a duck at home. India were 34/6 at one stage - 34 is the lowest score at the fall of 6th wicket for India at home since 1969. The previous lowest was 27 runs against New Zealand at Hyderabad.

India skipper Rohit Sharma revealed that Rishabh Pant has swelling on his operated knee after taking a hit, but hoped the wicketkeeper batter can return to the field on the third of the first Test against New Zealand on Friday. Pant could not collect a sharply spun ball from Ravindra Jadeja, who bowled from over the wicket, as it slammed on to his knee on the 37th over of the New Zealand's first innings. He limped out of the field soon, and was replaced by Dhruv Jurel.

To make things worse, India were a bit sloppy on the field as the New Zealand batters scored quick runs in response.
