Aakash Chopra takes a dig at 'credit-stealers England' after India's ultra-aggressive batting vs BAN

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra took a brutal dig at the England cricket team after India's recent exploits over Bangladesh at Green Park, Kanpur. Aakash Chopra also lauded Team India for their impressive batting display.

In the Kanpur Test, Indian batters shattered world records one by one. With Day 2 and Day 3 lost due to rain, India needed to do something different to make the result out of it. After bowling out Bangladesh for 233 in the first innings, the batters did exactly that.

India scored 285-9 in just 34.4 overs and announced the declaration. The run rate was a staggering 8.22 during their innings. Despite the fall of wickets, the whole batting unit showed an excellent attacking display.

Ben Duckett credited Bazball for India's aggressive batting

England have been playing the famous 'Bazball' style of cricket ever since Brendon McCullum took over as their head coach in Tests. Since then, they have changed their way of batting in Tests and are always attacking with a positive frame of mindset.

Earlier this year, England opener Ben Duckett's comments went viral when he claimed that England's Bazball style deserves credit for Yashasvi Jaiswal's attacking batting style. Duckett made this comment during England's Test series in India where they eventually lost 1-4 to the home team.

Jaiswal was in blistering form that series and reached his century off just 80 balls in the Rajkot. After his innings, Duckett made these comments. The left-hander was lambasted for his comments by England's former cricketers like Nasser Hussain, Michael Vaughan, and David Lloyd.

Indian batters attack from the first ball

Meanwhile, it was a thrilling batting display from Indian batters. Rohit Sharma led the way with successive sixes off his first two balls. Even as he got out, Yashasvi Jaiswal carried on the momentum and made sure that India didn't lose steam. Jaiswal scored 72 off 51 balls.

Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli also contributed with crucial runs but it was KL Rahul's innings that made the difference. Rahul smashed 68 off just 43 balls to give India a lead of 52 runs after the first innings.

Meanwhile, in the second innings too, Indian batters showed attacking intent to chase down the target of 95 runs in just 17.2 overs. Jaiswal scored his second half-century of the match while Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 29.
