    Indian Team Comes Under Fire On Social Media For Humiliating Home ODI Series Defeat To NZ For First Time

    ODI World Cup: The Indian men's ODI cricket team came under fire on social media on Sunday as it went down to a depleted New Zealand side 2-1 in the three-match ODI series, losing the series-deciding third and final ODI by 41 runs at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.

    With this, New Zealand won an ODI series in India for the first time in 37 years, and when coupled with the BlackCaps' 3-0 whitewash of the hosts in a Test series last year, proves that the 2023 ODI World Cup finalists are in not in a happy place just over an year before the next World Cup in 50-over cricket in 2027.

    Virat Kohli scored a valiant 124 while Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy struck fifties, but their efforts went in vain as the hosts failed to chase a mammoth target of 338 and fell short by 41 runs.
