Rohit Sharma Should Be More Aggressive As A Batter, Says Kapil Dev, Citing “Bazball” As An Example

Kapil Dev, a former captain of India and a World Cup champion in 1983, encourages Rohit Sharma to play a more aggressive kind of batting. Additionally, Kapil lauded the Bazball play style that the England cricket Test squad, led by Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, employed.

In the most recent Ashes 2023 series, England rallied from a 2-0 deficit to win the series 2-2 in a tightly contested Test series, however Team India wasted the chance to defeat the West Indies in the second Test match that was heavily influenced by weather.

“Bazball is fantastic. One of the best series I have recently watched was the one between England and Australia. I believe that is how cricket should be played. Rohit does well. The Times of India cited Kapil Dev as saying, “But he has to be more assertive.

Kapil further went on to remark that other cricket teams have to follow a similar strategy and endeavor to win Test matches.

“You need to consider how current teams like England play. It’s not just us, either. All nations that play cricket must consider that. All sides should put winning the game above playing for draws, he said.

Despite the controversy that surrounded Ashes 2023, the series featured intense bat-and-ball competition. Despite falling down 0-2 in the series, England managed to rally because to their “Bazball” strategy.
