While commentating during the match, Shastri humorously called the batting collapse a "duck party" after seeing five batters register zeros on the scorecard. "When you see that scorecard, you think there will be a duck party happening there. Five ducks!" Shastri remarked with a grin as the broadcaster displayed the dismal scoreboard.Later, when Kohli, Rahul, and Sarfaraz were shown standing in the slips during New Zealand’s batting, Shastri couldn't resist taking another dig. “It’s unheard of in India – lowest score, bowled out for 46. All three standing there in slips, all out for ducks,” he quipped, adding a playful twist to the grim situation.At the post-match press conference, India’s captain Rohit Sharma took responsibility for the batting disaster, admitting his mistake in reading the pitch conditions. “I am hurting because I made that call. We were bowled out for 46, and as captain, that hurts. I misjudged the pitch, but these things happen. Out of 365 days, you make two or three bad calls, and today was one of them,” Rohit confessed."Duck Party" Drama in India’s Dismal Batting Collapse
