INDC Network: Cricket: The Indian cricket team has suffered unexpected defeats in two consecutive Test matches at home against New Zealand, making the path to the World Test Championship (WTC) final extremely difficult for India. Especially when only a win in the third and final Test can now save their prestige.
New Zealand first brought a new twist to Indian cricket by winning a Test match in India after 36 years in Bengaluru and then dashed India's hopes by registering a second consecutive win in Pune. This not only breaks India's impressive record of home Test series wins but also raises questions about their intentions to reach the next WTC final.
Reacting to this situation of the team, former captain and coach of the Indian team Anil Kumble said that if the Indian team has to keep the hope of reaching the upcoming WTC final alive, then they will have to perform well. Kumble made it clear that the defeat at home is a matter of introspection for Indian cricket and now it is necessary to win the remaining matches so that the danger of being wiped out in the home series can be avoided.

Another important aspect of this defeat is that it has also marked a challenging start to the tenure of India's new coach Gautam Gambhir. This defeat of India on home ground makes it clear that now the team will have to move forward by working on its shortcomings and make a strong comeback in the last match.
It is now necessary for India to maintain the reputation of winning on its home ground, which has strengthened Indian cricket for decades. Will the Indian team be able to face this challenge and make it to the WTC final? Only time will tell, but Anil Kumble's opinion makes it clear that the team needs a lot of introspection and improvement to reach this goal.
