Team India suffered their worst performance at home, bowling out for 46 in the first innings of the first Test against New Zealand on Thursday. As many as five Indian batsmen were dismissed for ducks in the innings, including star players like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan. The nature of India’s appalling display in the innings was such that even former coach Ravi Shastri did not shy away from taking the hit on the batting unit.

While commentating on the match, Shastri taunted Kohli and other batsmen on several occasions. Once, when the team’s scorecard appeared on the announcer’s screen, Shastri criticized Kohli and others who were dismissed for ducks. The former Indian pacer called them a “duck party”.

“When you see that scorecard,” he said, “you think there’s going to be a duck party over there. Five ducks!”

Later, when the photographer showed a picture of Kohli, Sarfaraz and Rahul standing in the slips while batting against New Zealand, Shastri brought up the topic of ducks again.

“It’s unheard of in India – the lowest score, the team is out for 46 runs. All three stand in the slips, all out for ducks,” he said.

Speaking in the post-match press conference, India captain Rohit Sharma admitted his error in judgment on the field.

“I’m a little hurt that I made that call. We found ourselves in a situation where we were out for 46 runs. As a captain, it definitely hurts to see that number,” Rohit said during the post-day press meet. .

“So, it’s clearly a misjudgment of the pitch. I didn’t read the pitch well enough and we’re sitting in that situation. Although in 365 days, you’re going to make two or three bad calls. That’s perfectly fine, I think,” .
