Rohit Sharma & Co. unleash India's own brand of attacking Test batting

KANPUR: Earlier this year, India captain Rohit Sharma took offense when Ben Duckett suggested EnglandBazball' Approach deserves recognition for Yashasvi Jaiswal's aggressive batting during the Test series in India.
English cricket came up with the idea of ​​'Bazball' in 2022 and branded it as a way to save money Test cricket. Given the way India batted here on Monday, they can claim to have developed an aggressive batting approach of their own.
India's mindset is in many ways more flexible than the sometimes narrow-minded 'Bazball' approach.

A key reason behind India's move from Cheteshwar Pujara was to increase their scoring rate. Therefore, it is necessary to accommodate Shubman Gill at number 3. “Saving Test cricket is about playing a brand of cricket that emerges victorious,” India bowling coach Morne Morkel said at the end of the third day of play on Monday.
“The crowd had a T20 feel today. I think the teams will summarize the conditions. If the conditions allow you to score quickly and if you are able to push the game forward, it will happen.”

If you compare the batting performances of India and England in the last two years, you will see more English collapses. India had more successful counter-attacks with the bat. On Monday, too, India showed that they can unleash the “full attack” mode at will and implement it better than most other teams.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, for example, both had a difficult surface in sight before switching to demolition mode.
“That’s the beauty of our batting line-up. We have guys who can play different styles “What a batsman has to do is put pressure on the bowlers,” Morkel said. India's batting line-up has largely grown up on a strong T20 diet.
Apart from Jaiswal, everyone up to No. 8 has captained an IPL team at some point in their career. Powerful drives, crisp lofted shots across the ground, sharp cuts, thunderous sweeps and clever reverse sweeps – the Indian batters served up a shot-making buffet on Monday.

Bangladesh Mehidy Hasan Miraz pointed out that India's “all-format batting technique” makes it difficult to plan against them. “They are not just batters of one format. They perform well in all three formats. They are so good at playing the situation, it’s a lesson for other teams,” Miraz said.
“There are different situations in Test cricket. Today it was like a T20 game. They came to the ground to win.”
“Cricket is a game about scoring runs. In the first innings we tried to score runs quickly to reach a safe position in the Test. We lost a few wickets in the process,” Miraz said.
At the moment, India seems to be mastering the power game in Test cricket.
