Description
Barring the circus in Pakistan cricket, nothing has offfered more entertainment to world cricket like the Bazball in the last two years. The term was coined by an English journalist and it is derived from England men's Test team head coach Brendon McCullum's nickname 'Baz'. Does the legendary batter approve of it? Well, no! Brendon McCullum hates generalising England's new approach and the coinage of the term 'Bazball'. He believes there is more to their approach than just scoring at close to 6 runs per over. The former New Zealand captain, who took over as England's Test coach in 2022, has revolutionised the way England have played Test cricket. Yes, England have achieved away wins, notably in Pakistan and New Zealand. But, are they capable of breaching the fortress in India? Will India prepare rank-turners? Will such pitches help the future of Test cricket? Have India not learned their lessons from the past? Should there be more balance between bat and ball? Also, let's address the big question. Will Virat Kohli's absence hurt India? It definitely will, but the hosts have players who can step up. KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer now have an opportunity to play together. For Bazball, the India series might prove to be make-or-break! Buckle up, the next 2 months are going to be an exciting ride. Listen in! Produced and Sound Mix by Sachin Dwivedi
