England’s ‘Bazball’ Approach Backfires
England’s aggressive ‘Bazball’ approach, championed by skipper Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, faltered against India’s spin prowess. While England’s young spinners showed promise, their batting inconsistency and failure to adapt to Indian conditions cost them dearly.
Rohit Sharma’s Leadership
Stand in captain Rohit Sharma’s astute leadership was instrumental in India’s success. Despite missing key players like Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami, Rohit backed the young brigade and made tactical decisions that paid off handsomely.
England’s Selection Dilemmas
