‘Does Jaiswal learn from Duckett? There was a guy called Rishabh Pant…’: Rohit Sharma hilariously defeats Bazball | Top Vip News

Rohit Sharma is not one to mince his words and when he is on form (not with the bat, but with the microphone), Sharma can be as entertaining as anyone, and speaking of ‘Bazball’ and ‘that’ Ben Duckett comment, Sharma was at his best. The wittiest answer to a question at the pre-match press conference ahead of the fifth and final Test between India and England in Dharamsala.

Duckett, of course, had attracted attention after claiming that England should be partly credited for India opener Yashaswi Jaiswal’s attacking hundred on the third day of the Rajkot Test. Duckett said England’s aggression with the bat in Test cricket has forced their opponents to play differently.

Duckett faced a lot of criticism for his comments and even former England captain Nasser Hussain reprimanded the England opener for his reckless comments. Sharma criticized Duckett when reminded of the comment.

“Yashasvi Jaiswal learning from Ben Duckett? There was a guy called Rishabh Pant in our team, Ben Duckett probably hasn’t seen him play,” said Sharma, adding that he still has no idea what Bazball is.

England’s new approach, dubbed Bazball, had brought them success for a prolonged period since Ben Stokes took over the Test captaincy and Brendon McCullum was appointed their head coach, but in this series, England suffered their first series defeat since which began the Bazball era.

“I just don’t know what Bazball means. I haven’t seen any savage hits from anyone. England have played better cricket than here last time. But I still don’t know what Bazball means…” Sharma said.

Hussain had earlier rejected Duckett’s claim and instead advised England batsmen to introspect and learn to control their innings from young Jaiswal, who scored a brilliant double century, the second such score in his career. seven tests.

“So, the comment about Jaiswal he learned from us. I’m going to play that again. He didn’t learn from you. He has learned, as I say, from his upbringing and all the efforts he had to make while he was growing up, and he has learned from the IPL,” Hussain told Mike Atherton on Sky Sports Cricket.

So far, Jaiswal has amassed 655 runs in eight innings at an astonishing average of 93.57 and is poised to become the highest run-getter in a Test series between India and England. Duckett, on the other hand, with his aggressive approach, managed 314 runs in eight innings at 39.25.
