Questions raised on baseball style
New Delhi. The England cricket team led by Ben Stokes had come to India tour to play the Test series with a baseball strategy but Rohit Sharma and company spoiled their plans. England won the first test of the series in baseball style but in the last 4 tests they could not perform as per expectations and lost the series 1-4. In the fifth test match played in Dharamshala, England surrendered on the third day itself. Seeing this condition in the Test series of England, former Indian cricket team opener Virender Sehwag also did not shy away from having fun. Veeru has enjoyed an England match on social media.
Virender Sehwag tweeted, ‘Baseball, lights out. England did not have a game to match. Especially after the second test match, I was not able to understand him. The captain’s miserable failure further increased his troubles and it seemed as if he was living in an illusion. The team lacked the style that should have been there in baseball.
