Despite two and a half days being washed out due to determined rain, the hosts still managed to fixed a comfortable seven-wicket victory on the final day. Ex. England captain Michael Vaughan blazed controversy when he remarked on India’s aggressive batting , nothing, ” I see India are playing Bazball.”

Just as any scandal is now called this-gate or that-gate after the Watergate scandal over 50 years ago in the United states of America, this Indian batting approach was labelled this-ball and that-ball after the term “Bazball” was coined for the England team’s batting attitude. It was called this because “Baz” is the nickname of their coach, Brendon McCullum of New Zealand, who batted exactly as his team is doing -throwing caution to the winds in an attempt to score runs.”

While the England batting approach changed completely under the new regime of Ben Stokes and McCullum, we have seen over the last couple of years that Rohit Sharma has been batting like this and encouraging his team to do so well,”
