NEW DELHI: Cricketing legend Geoffrey Boycott accused the England team of "losing the plot" and criticized their overly aggressive batting approach in a scathing assessment of their performance in the second Test against India.
Boycott, writing in his column for The Telegraph, lambasted England for what he perceived as a reckless pursuit of attacking cricket, particularly in the fourth innings chase of 399 runs. He argued that England's "Bazball" mentality, epitomized by Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes, led to their downfall.
