New Delhi: Team India bulldozered the Bangladeshi team in the 2nd test as the men in blue smashed one record after another. After bowling out the Bangladeshi team for 233 runs, the Indian top order blasted away the Bangladeshi bowlers with both Rohit and Jaiswal hitting the Bangladeshi bowlers across the park.

In the process, Yashasvi Jaiswal notched up a fine half-century while Rohit Sharma was out on 23. While England’s recent aggressive approach has earned the nickname “Bazball,” India’s performance against Bangladesh demonstrated their versatility and ability to adapt their batting style according to the game’s context.
According to pundits, the approach taken by India is a more measured one which had the perfect balance of aggression and perseverance. If India can keep up with this form of batting, experts predict that this form of cricket is set to become the new identity of cricket for the Gambhir era.
