IND vs ENG fifth Test | I don’t know what Bazball means: Rohit

[ad_1] India’s captain Rohit Sharma. | Photo Credit: PTI A relaxed Rohit Sharma, with the series in the bag, was at his candid best as he reflected on the four Tests so far. He termed it “a series of comebacks” for his triumphant team. Rohit went on to admit that he did not know what Bazball meant. The India skipper was at his witty best on Wednesday. When reminded of England opener Ben Duckett’s view that some of the Indian batters could be influenced by the Bazball, Rohit said: “There was this guy called Rishabh Pant in our team... probably, Ben Duckett hasn’t seen him bat.” On the eve of the final Test, Rohit spoke about the lessons learnt. “I didn’t study much in school but I do study the opposition a lot while playing cricket. I enjoy that process of learning as a batter and captai...

‘Ben Duckett hasn’t seen Rishabh Pant’ – How Rohit Sharma proves aggression, entertainment is not England’s monopoly

[ad_1] It’s been close to three weeks but the Indian dressing room can’t forget what England opener Ben Duckett said about India’s latest batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal at the end of the third Test at Rajkot. His comment, which later received wide-spread criticism from around the world, was about England’s Bazballers inspiring India’s 22-year-old find of the series to bat aggressively. On the eve of the final Test, Indian captain Rohit Sharma was asked about Bazball and Duckett’s remark. He gave his trademark shrug, said he couldn’t understand if Bazball was about defending or attacking, but acknowledged that England had played better cricket than the last series. He later added what was sure to get him headlines. “There was this guy called Rishabh Pant, probably Duckett hasn’t seen ...

Chris Gayle hails ‘phenomenal’ Yashasvi Jaiswal, says nothing new about ‘Bazball’ | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: England have no copyright on aggressive batting according to West Indies star Chris Gayle, who insisted it had been around even "years before" he started his career as one of cricket's most celebrated big-hitters.Dynamic run-scoring has been a key feature of England's 'Bazball' approach to Test cricket under the leadership of coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes.But England opener Ben Duckett raised eyebrows when he suggested their methods had inspired India counterpart Yashasvi Jaiswal to score an unbeaten double century in the recent third Test in Rajkot.Jaiswal, 22, made a blistering 214 not out, including a Test record-equalling 12 sixes in an innings, as India thrashed England by a mammoth 434 runs to go 2-1 up in a five-match series.It was also the left-h...

Watch: Akash Deep’s three-wicket burst on debut against England | – Times of India

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Pacer Akash Deep almost had a dream start to his Test career when he clean bowled Zak Crawley in the fourth over on the first day of the fourth Test against England in Ranchi on Friday.It was a lovely delivery that nipped back from a length around off and burst past Crawley's inside edge, sending the off-stump cart-wheeling. But as luck would have it, the siren went off and the replays showed that it was a front-foot no-ball.But an undeterred Akash Deep continued to bowl full tilt and indeed made it a memorable debut nonetheless by getting his maiden Test wicket in the 10th over by inducing an edge off the bat of Ben Duckett off a delivery that nipped back in from a good length and then straightened onto the left-hander, made Duckett play and the ball took the edge for ...

‘England is not 1st team to play aggressively’: Michael Clarke slams Duckett for ‘We should take some credit’ comments on Jaiswal’s 200

[ad_1] Bazballers were Bazballed on the third-day evening session when Yashasvi Jaiswal who was batting at a steady clip suddenly decided to flick the switch and go after the English bowling in Rajkot. In addition to the left-handers’ innings what grabbed the attention was England opener Ben Duckett’s “we said should take some credit” comments for Jaiswal’s knock. Former Australian cricketer Michael Clarke reacted to the comments “England is not the first team to play aggressively or bat positively,” said on ESPN’s Around The Wicket. “Because you play a reverse sweep or a switch hit or a ramp shot, that doesn’t mean you are batting aggressively either,” the former skipper would add. Jaiswal scored a destructive 214 in which he hit 12 gigantic sixes. “When you see players from the opposi...

Yashasvi Jaiswal: A Superstar in the Making – India vs England 3rd Test | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] RAJKOT: England are finding it almost impossible to stop Yashasvi Jaiswal. Putting the English bowlers to the sword, the left-handed opener from Mumbai has cracked 435 runs in six innings across three Tests at a grand average of 87. How much Jaiswal has dominated this series can be gauged by the fact that the next highest run-getter in the series is England opener Ben Duckett, who has scored 284 runs in five innings.Duckett had no hesitation in saying that the 22-year-old was a “superstar in the making.” Duckett also pointed out that England deserved credit for changing the way Test cricket is being played by the other teams. “When you see players from the opposition playing like that, it almost feels like we should take some credit that they’re playing differently than how other ...

Mohammed Siraj’s hilarious account of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s boundary show in Rajkot: ‘I was taking a massage…will go and see it now’

[ad_1] On a day where England started out as favorites, India finished in firm control of the third Test in Rajkot, in large part thanks to the batting antics of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Only playing his seventh Test for India, the swashbuckling southpaw has started out with a balanced act but soon shifted gears to take the attack to the visitors. Scoring a sensational ton, Jaiswal smothered five sixes and as many fours in a space of six overs in the last session of the day to put the Indians in the driving seat. A truly ‘where were you when it happened’ passage of Test cricket against the Bazballers. However, despite being present at the venue, Mohammed Siraj was unable to witness the onslaught from the 22-year-old. “I didn’t see as I was taking a massage then (smiles). Will go now and see th...

Mohammed Siraj and Ben Duckett on Joe Root’s game-changing reverse sweep shot: ‘Achanak, pata nahi…’,’He played the same shot to Pat Cummins’

[ad_1] England were 224/3 on the third day of the third Test, with the Test series against India literally and figuratively at a central point, when it happened. In his Bazball avatar, Joe Root has made a habit of scoring via a reverse sweep – sometimes as many as six runs off one go. On this particular occasion however, it would be the unbecoming of him as the Englishman ended up holing it straight to the Yashasvi Jaiswal at second slip. A dismissal which set in motion an early collapse of the visitors in the first innings, handing India a sizeable first-innings lead. India pacer Mohammed Siraj offered a summation that seemed most apt at the end of the day’s play.”Haan Haan..a partnership was developing and it could have got difficult for us.

Ben Duckett explains his slog-sweeps against Ashwin, believes ‘superstar’ Jaiswal’s aggressive knock owes a bit to England’s Bazball approach

[ad_1] In the last couple of decades, we have seen a few overseas batsmen play their signature slog-sweeps to great effect in India. Hansie Cronje, Steve Waugh, Kevin Pietersen and we can now add Ben Duckett, whose thunderous slog-sweeps on the second day in Rajkot made even the bowler R Ashwin think of applauding. It will be captured in potential cricket documentaries about the series and definitely ‘gif’fed by the England and Wales Cricket Board’s X handle in the years to come. It was some sight. Duckett had to extend himself far more than Waugh or Cronje. Not just because he isn’t as tall, but his ambitions were higher. He wanted to hit Ashwin – irrespective of where he was bowling, often turning across him outside off – to the wide midwicket region as “it was a shorter boundary and b...

IND vs ENG: Why England, despite trailing by 238 runs, is in the driver’s seat

[ad_1] Though it was England that was trailing by 238 runs in the first innings and will be batting in the fourth innings, at the end of the second day, the pressure seemed to be on India. England had blitzed to 207/2 in 35 overs and threateningly for India, opener Ben Duckett was still out there on 133 with 21 fours and 2 sixes. The day and the game couldn’t have captured the stark contrast between the two teams’ approach any better. One team wanted to win, the other wanted to hang in there, stretch the game, see where it takes. Usually that would play out in reverse: the foreign team would take the second approach, the home team would show who the boss was. Here, England walloped, India dawdled with the bat. England attacked with Bazbaiting on field with innovative tactics, India tried...
