India had to face a humiliating defeat in the 4th ODI in Hamilton against the host New Zealand by 8 wickets. In response to India's 93 run target, New Zealand achieved the score in 14.4 overs by losing 2 wickets.
This is the biggest defeat for India ODI cricket in terms of balls. Appointed captain Rohit Sharma said that the players are responsible for this defeat.
In the absence of Virat, Rohit Sharma took the charge of the team in this match, it was his 200th ODI match too. After the defeat, Rohit said, it is the worst performance in recent times with the bat and we did not expect such a performance.
The batsmen will have to observe pressure when the ball is swinging and we are guilty of this defeat. The batsmen should have performed responsibly. If we had spent time on the crease for a little while, then the conditions will be easy to play, Rohit added.
Rohit said, "We played some bad shots too. When the ball swings, the challenge increases for the batsmen. The team was consistently doing well with several series, so everyone knows what is wrong in this match. When we are playing for our country then we have to do our best and we as a batsman are responsible for this defeat.
