The danger looming over Team India is something that has never happened in 92 years, something untoward will have to be averted in Mumbai.

The last 2 weeks have proved to be the most surprising in Test cricket for Team India. Team India, which seemed to be the strongest Test team in the world, has suddenly lost the series at home. That too at the hands of New Zealand, a team that had won only 2 Test matches in India in the last 60-70 years. Still, this happened because history is made from such astonishing feats. New Zealand made history but now Team India is facing a crisis that it has not seen in its 92 years of cricket history. This untoward incident may happen in the next Test match to be held in Mumbai, to which Team India will have to put in all its efforts.

What is this unusual thing? What is it that has never happened in 92 years of Indian cricket but now its threat is looming? We will tell you about it, but first, let us tell you what has happened in this test series so far. The first match of the test series was played in Bengaluru and New Zealand won it by 8 wickets. In the first innings of this match, Team India was all out for just 46 runs which is its lowest score at home. Then in the Pune Test, within three days, New Zealand won the series by winning by 113 runs. In this way, after winning 18 consecutive series since 2012, for the first time, Team India lost a series at home.

Now let's come to the danger that is looming over Team India. This danger is of a clean sweep in the Test series. The Indian cricket team has faced a clean sweep in Test series many times in its long history but to date, it has never faced this embarrassment in a series of three or more Test matches at home. The Indian team has never been whitewashed in any such Test series that it has lost on home soil. Either a Test match was drawn or Team India won one or two matches. Although in 2000 it had to face a clean sweep at the hands of South Africa that series was of only 2 matches.

Now for the first time, the threat of a 3-0 whitewash is looming over them and Mumbai's historic Wankhede Stadium, where many golden chapters of Indian cricket have been written, can become a witness to this mishap. This last Test match of the series will start on November 1, for which there is still time. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir will have to instill that passion in their team again, so that the team can come on the field with the same attitude as before and can save its honor with a win in the last match. Also, it can keep the hopes of reaching the World Test Championship final alive.
