'I'm not sure if it was the right call' - Rohit Sharma opens up on Rishabh Pant's dismissal in 3rd Test match vs NZ

New Zealand whitewashed the Test series against India on their own home soil by winning the 3-match Test series, 3-0. The results of the last Test match were quite interesting as the Kiwis won the game by just 25 runs. While Rishabh Pant was on the crease, it felt like India could avoid a clean sweep. However, as soon as the player was dismissed, the tables turned and India were crushed in Mumbai. 

Pant's dismissal was controversial as the on-field umpires gave not-out while the third umpire went against it. While the deflection wasn't that clear, as per rules, the decision should have stayed with the on-field umpire. But it felt like everything was against India in the entire series. 

Rohit Sharma spoke about Pant's dismissal during the press conference and said they weren't sure why this decision was made. "If there were no conclusive evidence, the decision should stick with the on-field umpire's decision. I'm not sure if it was the right call," said Rohit. 

Many questions have been raised against the selectors and the Indian team after this series defeat against a depleted team like New Zealand, who had lost a Test series against Sri Lanka in the previous month. Moreover, it was Tom Latham's first series as a captain and he will remember it for a while now. 

The boys have done a fantastic job: Tom Latham

New Zealand are on cloud nine after whitewashing a Test series against India on their own home ground. This series means a lot to skipper Tom Latham, as his men didn't let him down at any point of the game. They were terrific throughout the series, with both the bat and the ball. At the presentation, Latham looked extremely happy and smiling after achieving a huge feat. India have been a dominating side, especially in home conditions, and winning against them was a terrific experience for the Kiwis. 

"Very ecstatic. Looking back at the start of the series to now be in this position, the boys have done a fantastic job over the last three Test matches. We are pretty happy. Just being able to adapt to each ground, I wouldn't say it's been a one way of doing things," said Tom Latham.
