Michael Vaughan on India’s Aggressive Batting
Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes India’s aggressive batting in the first innings against Bangladesh in the second Test reflects England’s “Bazball” cricket. Indian batsmen played aggressive cricket in the first Test. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Rohit Sharma started India’s aggressive play at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur after bowling out Bangladesh for 233 in the second session.
Vaughan wrote on X, “I think the Indian Team is playing Bazball”. He compared India’s attack to England’s Bazball cricket. ‘Bazball’ is the term used for England’s aggressive style of cricket, which became popular when Brendon McCullum took over as red-ball coach in 2022.
