In a recent exchange, Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma took a playful jab at English cricketer Ben Duckett for his remarks on Yashasvi Jaiswal‘s playing style during the ongoing Test series between India and England. Jaiswal has been in exceptional form, scoring consistently and maintaining a high strike rate throughout the series.
Duckett, referring to Jaiswal’s aggressive approach, suggested that England‘s influence on the global game, particularly through their ‘Bazball’ strategies implemented by Test coach Brendon McCullum, might have played a role in encouraging players like Jaiswal to adopt a more aggressive style of play.
Responding to Duckett’s comments, Rohit Sharma humorously remarked, “There was a guy named Rishabh Pant in our team, probably Ben Duckett hasn’t seen him playing.”
Rohit’s statement was a playful reminder of Pant’s aggressive batting style, known for its fearless and entertaining approach to Test cricket.
The banter between the two players adds a light-hearted touch to the intense competition on the field. It also highlights the impact of different playing styles and strategies on the evolution of the game, showcasing cricket’s ability to adapt and innovate over time.
India is currently gearing up for the final Test against England, scheduled to take place at the HPCA stadium in Himachal Pradesh. With the series finely poised, fans can expect more exciting cricketing action in the days to come.
