Rohit Sharma India vs Bangladesh

Michael Vaughan took to social media after India’s dominating performance against Bangladesh and made a cheeky comment comparing their approach to England’s aggressive style, famously known as 'Bazball.'

This came after India’s batsmen completely dismantled the Bangladeshi bowling attack on Day 4 of the ongoing Test match in Kanpur. With India looking for a result due to two washed-out days, their ultra-aggressive batting style left fans stunned.

But instead of calling it a copy of England's 'Bazball', fans came up with their own term - ‘Ro-Ball’- to describe India’s thrilling display.

What triggered Michael Vaughan’s ‘Bazball’ comment?

After being bundled out for 233 in their first innings, Bangladesh faced a flurry of boundaries and sixes from the Indian batsmen, starting right from the very first over.

Yashasvi Jaiswal set the tone with three boundaries in the opening over, while Rohit Sharma followed it up by hitting two back-to-back sixes in the second over, pushing India’s score past 50 in just 3 overs. This marked the fastest 50 ever recorded in Test cricket.

How did fans react to Vaughan’s Bazball remark?

The response to Vaughan’s tweet was immediate. This sparked a response from Indian cricket fans who were quick to coin a new term to describe India’s dominant style.
