Team India sets four shameful records after massive defeat in fourth odi

The fourth ODI match played against New Zealand proved to be nothing less than a major shock for the Indian cricket team. In this match, the Indian team had to face a crushing and humiliating defeat by a massive margin of 244 runs. Batting first in the match, the New Zealand team posted a formidable total of 333 runs on the scoreboard. In response, when the Indian team came out to bat, the entire batting lineup collapsed and was bundled out for a meager score of just 89 runs. Along with this heavy defeat, the Indian cricket team has registered four very shameful records in its name, which will be remembered for a long time, while the performance of the team during this match was extremely disappointing, and not a single batsman showed the courage to stay at the crease, resulting in the team crumbling like a house of cards.

Biggest ODI defeat in SENA countries

In the history of Indian cricket, this defeat has become the biggest ODI defeat in terms of runs in SENA countries, which include South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia. Prior to this, the Indian team had suffered a 208-run defeat in Sydney back in the year 2004, which was the previous worst margin. Now, this massive 244-run defeat against New Zealand has surpassed that old unwanted record and added a new shameful chapter to the team's overseas record. Such a pathetic performance on foreign soil has been extremely disheartening for Indian cricket fans and once again exposed the team's vulnerabilities in foreign playing conditions.

All out below one hundred twice in same year

Another very unwanted and shameful record has been added to the name of the Indian team this year. For the first time in the history of Indian cricket, the team has been bowled out for a score of less than 100 in both ODI and T20 formats within the same calendar year. The most interesting and surprising part is that both these matches were played under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, and on both occasions, the team failed to touch the 100-run mark. As a captain, this statistic raises a major question mark over Shreyas Iyer's leadership, as such a collapse of the team is considered extremely rare at the international level.

Lowest ODI total for India in New Zealand

This has been recorded as the lowest and smallest total in the history of Indian ODI cricket on the soil of New Zealand. Plus, looking at it overall, this is also India's second lowest total ever against New Zealand. Earlier in the year 2010, Team India was bowled out for 88 runs while playing against New Zealand, and this time by getting bundled out for 89 runs, the team has once again repeated that poor batting display. The Indian batting order looked completely helpless in front of the Kiwi bowlers, and every batsman proved incapable of facing the lethal bowling attack of the opponents.

Unwanted record for captain Shreyas Iyer

A very shameful personal record was also attached to the name of captain Shreyas Iyer in this match. Shreyas Iyer has become the first ever Indian captain to get dismissed for a duck in his debut match as an ODI captain. Before him, this unwanted and poor record was held by legendary players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, although both of them had scored 2 runs each in their respective captaincy debut matches, but Shreyas Iyer returned to the pavilion without opening his account, becoming a victim of a duck, which proved to be very unfortunate for the start of his career as a captain.
