Team India suffered their fifth successive loss in ODIs against New Zealand as the hosts coasted to a seven-wicket victory in the first of the three-match series at Eden Park in Auckland on Friday.Chasing a target of 307, the record partnership between captain Kane Williamson and Tom Latham of 221* saw them get home with almost three overs to spare. The Indian bowlers were inconsistent with their line and length and on a small ground like Eden Park, they were certainly not going to get away with these mistakes.Fans on Twitter slammed the Men in Blue for bowling freebies every now and then and for allowing the likes of Latham and Williamson to release the scoreboard pressure. Here are some of the reactions:Abhinandan@Abhinandan5653Mujhe India ki LOI bowling se confidence aata hi nhin hai,we hype mediocre bowlers and then cry at multinational event failures,kitne aise bowlers hain ICT mein jinki bowling dekhne ka maza aata hai ? ,ya unhe dekh ke bache bowler banne ki inspiration lenge ?31Mujhe India ki LOI bowling se confidence aata hi nhin hai,we hype mediocre bowlers and then cry at multinational event failures,kitne aise bowlers hain ICT mein jinki bowling dekhne ka maza aata hai ? ,ya unhe dekh ke bache bowler banne ki inspiration lenge ?Alpha Mike ↗️@Alpha_V18India compromised on their bowling strength in order to play someone who can bat at 8 in WC, and paid for it Did the same mistake today & again paid for it. #siraj has been bowling exceptionally well since that South Africa #ODI series,He should start ahead of lord in ODI's1India compromised on their bowling strength in order to play someone who can bat at 8 in WC, and paid for it Did the same mistake today & again paid for it. #siraj has been bowling exceptionally well since that South Africa #ODI series,He should start ahead of lord in ODI'sArcher@poserarcher4-1-9-1 ..who is this bowler ..doesn't look like Shardul Thakur. 10034-1-9-1 ..who is this bowler ..doesn't look like Shardul Thakur. 😂David@CricketFreakD1Time to think about Chahal for ODIs. Really an irrelevant spinner. No fear, comes in, bowls 6 deliveries, leaves. Just like part-timer. India need to work out this phase ASAP, take tough calls on bowlers. Chahal is so easy for batters.193Time to think about Chahal for ODIs. Really an irrelevant spinner. No fear, comes in, bowls 6 deliveries, leaves. Just like part-timer.

Williamson all class as always but Latham stole the show. Not easy for an opener to move down the order and still be successful. India missed a trick by just playing 5 bowlers. #NZvIND166654Well played @BLACKCAPS 👏🏽 Made 300 look like 270. Williamson all class as always but Latham stole the show.

Need to get the top order batters to work on thier bowling skills as well. You just can't have 5 batters in the same line up who can't even chip in a couple of overs when required. #NZvIND #NZvsIND41Eventually feel The men's team need to learn from the women's one here.

Tom Latham walked out to bat and him against the spinners was always going to be a battle worth watching.The southpaw showed just how good he is against spin, making great use of the sweep shot every now and then and pouncing on the loose deliveries. The inconsistency of the pacers like Shardul Thakur and Arshdeep Singh didn't help either, as the pressure created from the other end was immediately released.Latham scored a sparkling 145* and captain Williamson remained unbeaten on 94* as New Zealand gave Shikhar Dhawan and Co. an absolute hammering. The Men in Blue will need to come back stronger on Sunday if they want to avoid a series defeat.India XI: Shikhar Dhawan (c), Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal.New Zealand XI: Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson (c), Tom Latham (wk), Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson.
