Mumbai: India captain Rohit Sharma said Sunday their 3-0 Test drubbing by New Zealand was a career "low point" but promised a turnaround in the upcoming Australia tour.

The hosts went down by 25 runs in the third Test inside three days at Mumbai, only their second series whitewash at home.

Rohit's team, heavy favourites before the series, failed to chase 147 and were all out for 121.

"This will be a very low point in my career, having lost three games at home," said Rohit.

"I fully take responsibility for that. As a leader, I have not been at the best of my abilities right from the start of the series. With the bat as well, I have not been good enough."
