After 46 All Out, Team India is shocked.

It was a shocking day for Team India as they were all out for just 46 runs. When I saw the scorecard, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh God! What has happened?” Just a few days ago, we celebrated that India scored 297 runs in a T20 match, which is the highest ever. And now, here we are, unable to even reach 50 runs in a Test match. This is the lowest score ever for India at home in Test cricket history.

It’s surprising that this happened in Chinnaswamy Stadium. It’s even more surprising because we just celebrated breaking records for the fastest 50, 100, 150, and even 200 runs in Test cricket. Today, however, Team India made history for all the wrong reasons by crumbling to 46 runs. The only thing saving our pride is that we were not all out for 36 runs like our neighbors, Pakistan, did recently. They are now joking about how we fell to 46 runs. And honestly, we can’t blame them; this is a big embarrassment for us.

It’s hard to understand how such a talented team could falter so badly. We had big names like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul in the lineup. They were supposed to lead the team, but instead, they fell quickly. Rohit Sharma, our captain, scored only 2 runs, and Jasprit Bumrah, a bowler, was one of the few players to score. Only two players crossed into double digits: Sarfaraz Khan with 20 and Yashasvi Jaiswal with 13. Everyone else seemed to just throw their wickets away.

This performance is worse than when we were all out for 36 runs in Australia. It’s hard to digest. The conditions were overcast, and we chose to bat first. Whose decision was that? Whoever it was, they need to take responsibility. Getting all out for 46 runs in India is simply unacceptable. This is the lowest score ever in Asia as well, beating Pakistan’s previous record of 53 runs in 1986.

It’s even more shocking that our third-highest scorer was Siraj, who is a bowler. He scored 4 runs and was not out. This is just disgraceful. Gautam Gambhir had mentioned recently that we need to become a team that can score 500 runs in a day, but today we couldn’t even last two sessions. The scores tell the story: 10 runs in the first session, 31 in the second, 33 in the third, and finally 46 overall. It’s a disaster.

New Zealand deserves praise for their bowling performance. Their bowlers, who are just 23 years old, bowled exceptionally well, taking four wickets for just 22 runs. Matt Henry was particularly impressive, reminding us of the wounds from the 2019 World Cup. This match has brought back those painful memories.

With this performance, we have hit rock bottom. This is the first time India has been all out for less than 50 runs at home. It’s the third-lowest score in our history. The previous lowest was 75 runs in 1987. To think that five of our top seven batsmen were out for zero runs is just heartbreaking.

Fans are left questioning what went wrong. We expect at least one or two players to stick around and build a score. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and KL Rahul are all big names, and yet none of them could deliver. This is not something we expect from our team. After such a dismal performance, it’s hard to imagine how we can bounce back in the next innings.

Let’s just hope our bowlers can take revenge in the second innings. This is a tough pill to swallow for all Indian fans. New Zealand is playing well, and we need to step up. If we don’t, we may face even more embarrassment. The cricketing world is watching, and we must show that we can recover from this shocker.

This match is a reminder that cricket is unpredictable. It’s about one good session leading to another. We need to focus on our strengths and come back stronger. Let’s hope we can turn this around and make a comeback. But for today, it’s a bitter defeat that we must all accept.
