After the disastrous defeat, Rohit says he will talk to 'certain' individuals

This was India's first home series defeat in 12 years after conceding a four-match rubber against England 1-2 in 2012-13.

Rohit Sharma wants to talk to certain individuals to discuss about how to recover from this embarrassing defeat against New Zealand. India lost the second Test by 113 runs after failing to chase a stiff 359-run target. This was India's first home series defeat in 12 years after conceding a four-match rubber against England 1-2 in 2012-13.

"You don't need to overreact. But you need to have a quiet chat with certain individuals and let them know where they are at and what, as a team, we require from them. We need to find ways to come out of those situations," said Rohit.

He simultaneously revealed does not doubt his teammates' ability. "I do not doubt anyone's ability. I won't do much postmortem of this, but batters must come with their plans and trust on the plans like New Zealand batters showed," He added.

Significantly, Sachin Tendulkar has given a heartiest wish for the New Zealand team after they won the series 2-0 out of the three-Test series. Sachin has posted on his social media account, ‘For any visiting team, to win a Test series in India is a dream, and New Zealand have played really well to make it happen. 

'Such results can only be achieved with good, all-round team efforts, special mention to Santner for his standout performance, picking up 13 wickets. Congratulations to New Zealand on this phenomenal achievement!’

India's record of 18 consecutive bilateral home series wins has come to an end - the longest such sequence for any team. The third and final Test will be played at Mumbai's iconic Wankhede Stadium from  1st November.
