England’s promising start to their tour of India, marked by a victory in the Hyderabad Test, was overshadowed by India’s resurgence, sealing a record 17th consecutive home series win by the end of the fourth Test.
Indian cricketing icon Virender Sehwag subtly criticized England’s recent form on X (formerly Twitter), sharing the World Test Championship (WTC) points table where England sits second-last, ahead of only Sri Lanka. Sehwag, known for his aggressive batting style, questioned England’s ‘Bazball’ approach, suggesting that while it may entertain fans, it hasn’t translated into consistent success.
Under the leadership of captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, England has adopted an aggressive stance with both bat and ball in Test cricket, yielding some victories but failing to maintain momentum consistently.
