Former Indian player Yuvraj Singh has expressed his views about India's recent 3-0 defeat against New Zealand. The Kiwi team has achieved this feat after 24 years. Yuvraj Singh took to social media to share his thoughts about the loss, explaining how India performed in the series, which was an important part of the WTC 2023-25.
The last match of the three-match series was played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, in which New Zealand defeated India by 25 runs and made a clean sweep of the host team 3–0 in the series. Last time, Indian team got such a blow was in 2000 against the South Africa team. Yuvraj described this victory of the Kiwi team as the beauty of the game.
A few months ago, the Indian team won the title of World Champion in T20 International format. Yuvraj Singh wrote on X, "Cricket is really a humble game, isn't it? Just a few months after winning the T20 World Cup, we faced a historic whitewash. That's the beauty of this game! With the Australia series there will be more tests ahead, we have to learn and look ahead! Congratulations to @BLACKCAPS for a great performance and a historic win. "
After losing the third Test, the Indian team has now reached the second position, while Australia has reached the top spot in the WTC standings. The road for the Indian team to qualify for the WTC final is very tough, which will be played in June next year. This month, the Indian team has to tour Australia for a five-Test series.
India need to win at least four matches in Australia to qualify for the final. Fans and cricket experts are worried about the form of senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. It will be interesting to see how Rohit Sharma's team will leave this defeat behind and go with positive thinking on the tour of Australia.
