India's Aggressive Batting Approach Draws Praise and Controversy

India's aggressive batting approach in the second Test against Bangladesh has garnered widespread praise, but former England captain Michael Vaughan's comparison to England's "Bazball" has sparked controversy.

Despite rain washing out two and a half days of play, India secured a comfortable seven-wicket victory on the final day. Vaughan's comment, posted on social media, suggested that India was adopting England's ultra-aggressive approach under coach Brendon McCullum.

However, Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has taken a sharp dig at certain former experts, without naming anyone, for trying to claim credit for India's current approach. Gavaskar argues that the Indian team has been playing in this manner for the past couple of years, led by captain Rohit Sharma.

Gavaskar praised Sharma for his transformative impact on the team's playing style, noting that he has been batting aggressively and encouraging his teammates to do the same. He dismissed the suggestion that India's approach is due to the influence of coach Gautam Gambhir, who has only been in the role for a few months.

Gavaskar emphasized that the credit for India's aggressive batting belongs solely to Sharma. He also criticized the tendency to label new approaches with names derived from scandals or other events, such as "this-ball" or "that-ball."
