The moment New Zealand beat India 3-0 - the first time they have been whitewashed at home since 1999 😮

Losing 3-0 at home is a tough pill to swallow, and it calls for introspection.
Was it lack of preparation, was it poor shot selection, or was it lack of match practice?
@ShubmanGill showed resilience in the first innings, and @RishabhPant17 was brilliant in both innings— his footwork made a challenging surface look like a different one altogether. He was simply superb.
Full credit to New Zealand for their consistent performance throughout the series. Winning 3-0 in India is as good a result as it can get.

"They want to heighten the awareness of the illness that took him, but also want to emphasise that his life should not be defined by that. There was far, far more to him than that."

Something a little different - and fun - from me this weekend. The average cost of a wedding is now apparently just shy of £21,000, not far off a typical deposit.
With the costs so high, more couples have to choose between the two. So which comes first?
