NEW DELHI: Senior England batter Joe Root defended his team's "Bazball" approach in Test cricket, stating that it is not about arrogance but rather aimed at achieving the best results for the team. The term "Bazball" is a reference to the aggressive approach associated with coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes.
After England's record 434-run loss to India in the third Test in Rajkot, there was widespread criticism of their ultra-aggressive tactics. Root, however, emphasised that the team's approach is about seeking success and not rooted in arrogance.
