New Zealand defeated India by 25 runs on the second day and second session of the Mumbai Test. With this, New Zealand whitewashed the Indian team 3-0 in the Test series on its own soil. During this entire series, many shameful records were registered in the name of the Indian team, while fast bowler Akash Deep created an unwanted record with the bat which was never made before in the history of Test cricket. Which is that record? Let’s know.
Let us tell you that during India’s first innings in the Mumbai Test, when Akash Deep came to bat as the 11th batsman for India, he came on the field with his bat. After that, he pointed towards the dressing room from the field itself and asked for another bat. This was the same bat which Virat Kohli had gifted him in the series against Bangladesh. With this bat, Akash Deep hit two sixes in the first two balls against Bangladesh.
Kohli’s bat proved unlucky
In this match, Virat Kohli’s bat proved unlucky for Akash Deep. After calling for this bat, Akash also returned to the pavilion after being run out like Virat. Washington Sundar played a shot and called for two runs, but the ball went into the fielder’s hands and Sundar refused to take the second run. Before Akash could return to the crease, wicketkeeper Tom Blundell scattered the stumps and sent him to the pavilion. In the second innings, he got a chance to play one ball but he was bowled on it. In this way, he was out on a diamond duck in the first innings and a golden duck in the second innings.
