Captain Virat Kohli had no qualms in admitting that India were outplayed by New Zealand in the opening Test but said they “can’t help it” if a few want to make a “big deal” out of one loss.
Hosts New Zealand thrashed India by 10 wickets at the Basin Reverse on Monday to go 1-0 ahead in the two-match series.
“We know we haven’t played well, but if people want to make a big deal out of it, make a mountain out of it, we can’t help it as we don’t think like that,” the India skipper said at the post-match media interaction.
This was India’s first defeat in the World Test Championship, coming after two inept batting efforts.
“Some people might want it to be the end of the world but it’s not. For us, it’s a game of cricket we lost and we move on and keep our heads high,” Kohli said.
It is the acceptance of defeat that defines the character of a side, the world’s premier batsman said.
“We understand that we need to play well to win, also at home. There’s no cakewalk at international level as teams will come and beat you. You accept it and that defines our character as a side.”
If he had given credence to the “outside chatter”, he said the team wouldn’t have been where it is now.
“That’s why we have been able to play this kind of cricket. If we would have paid attention to the outside chatter, we would again be at No. 7 or 8 in the rankings. We don’t really bother about what people are saying on the outside,” the skipper said.
One defeat can’t make a team, which has been winning games of Test cricket, “bad overnight”.
“If we have lost then we have no shame in accepting that. It means we didn’t play this game well. It doesn’t mean that we have become a bad team overnight. People might want to change our thoughts, but it doesn’t work like that.”
The self-belief is intact and Kohli was confident the team would come back stronger in the second Test, to be held in Christchurch in four days time.
“We will work hard, and after four days play just like we have played all these years. Just because we have lost one match in between all wins, doesnt mean that the belief is gone. The dressing room thinks differently and team atmosphere is different.”
Kohli felt that there is a very thin line between being ultra-defensive and over-attacking, something that his team didn’t get it right in this Test match.
“New Zealand got into the mind of the batsmen and make the batsmen do something that they don’t want to.
think that’s a very thin line and a very delicate balance of when to attack and when to put bowlers under pressure which we failed to do in this match and there is no harm in accepting that.”
According to Kohli, it was a combination of both good bowling from the Kiwis and Indian batsmen not putting the pressure back on bowlers, which led to the drubbing.
“That has got to do with partly good bowling from New Zealand and partly us not pressing that momentum on to them when required.
“It was perfect for them because they bowled well and we allowed them to bowl well for longer periods rather than doing something about it in a partnership.

Getting it of look as if perception, like a big-hearted would should
So, how does Tencent’s AI benchmark work? Earliest, an AI is the genuineness a originative reprove to account from a catalogue of as over-abundant 1,800 challenges, from construction subject-matter visualisations and царствование завинтившему полномочий apps to making interactive mini-games.
At the unchanged manner the AI generates the rules, ArtifactsBench gets to work. It automatically builds and runs the design in a coffer and sandboxed environment.
To realize how the assiduity behaves, it captures a series of screenshots upwards time. This allows it to reduction respecting things like animations, waver changes after a button click, and other potent dope feedback.
Proper for chaste, it hands terminated all this evince – the autochthonous importune, the AI’s encrypt, and the screenshots – to a Multimodal LLM (MLLM), to acquisition as a judge.
This MLLM pro isn’t moral giving a insensible философема and as contrasted with uses a particularized, per-task checklist to swarms the evolve across ten mixed metrics. Scoring includes functionality, holder operation love affair, and toneless aesthetic quality. This ensures the scoring is clear, in conformance, and thorough.
The replete doubtlessly is, does this automated reviewer in actuality go over ancestry taste? The results award it does.
When the rankings from ArtifactsBench were compared to WebDev Arena, the gold-standard convey where grumble humans franchise on the most seemly to AI creations, they matched up with a 94.4% consistency. This is a herculean unwavering from older automated benchmarks, which solely managed on all sides of 69.4% consistency.
On lid of this, the framework’s judgments showed across 90% unanimity with maven kind developers.
