England have been attempting to adapt a method of fast-paced batting known as ‘Bazball’ for fairly a while. The type, which is called after their head coach Brendon McCullum, has seen batsmen scoring runs at extraordinarily fast speeds in Test matches and it has resulted in some sensible wins towards Pakistan and New Zealand. However, India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin didn’t sound fairly satisfied with the aggressive type of batting and mentioned that it’s going to absolutely falter in sure sort of circumstances.

“We now have a concept called Bazball. England is playing high-paced Test match cricket. They want to play a certain style of cricket. But in certain types of wicket, when you try and attack every ball, you will falter. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this approach,” Ashwin mentioned.

“Some will ask instead of defending and getting all out for 100, I will slog it out and get all out for 140. We will only know when the game pans out that the approach works or not. Sometimes, on the wicket, conditions need to be respected. If you respect the pitch and play accordingly, the pitch will also respect you. If you respect the pitch, it will pay you dividends,” the veteran spinner defined.

Ashwin, who has been one among India’s go-to bowlers within the two Test matches towards Australia up to now, hasn’t failed in weaving his magic on the 22-yard strip. Ashwin and Jadeja have bowled in tandem to provide India a 2-0 lead within the 4-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

In truth, Jadeja broke into the highest 10 of the ICC Test bowler rankings after his sensible exhibiting within the first two Tests towards Australia. The left-arm bowler is the main wicket-taker within the Border-Gavaskar sequence with 17 wickets from the 2 Tests and has galloped to the ninth spot within the bowling rankings. Jadeja is the third Indian within the prime 10 with Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah being the opposite two.

Ashwin, in the meanwhile, occupies the second spot with 40-year-old James Anderson occupying the pole place. Considering the momentum with which Ashwin is taking part in within the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Anderson’s spot on the summit place is below menace by Ashwin.
