India saw such a day at home after 12 years, 18 series and 54 matches. The most powerful test team in the world of cricket at home ended today at the Pune Stadium. Ravindra Jadeja caught Tim Southee on the boundary line. That's why the cricket world saw a rare day. India finally lost the series at home in white clothes.

India had to be caught by a big margin of 113 runs in the 2nd Test of the series in Pune against New Zealand. After this loss, Rohit Sharma has become second in the list of captains who have lost the most Tests at home for India along with Sourav Ganguly, Kapil Dev.

Even in the list of captains who have lost the most Tests for India at home, Rohit has come second. He shares this record with Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev. However, Rohit is playing less matches than the other two.
