Port of Spain: India wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan favours playing Test cricket according to the situation of the match, adding that “Bazball” should not become the template for playing every single five-day game.
Kishan, who made his Test debut on the West Indies tour, scored a T20-style half-century in the second innings of the drawn second Test here, as the need of the hour was to score quickly and set an imposing target for the hosts.
India scoring at 7.54 runs per over on day 4 of the second Test (they declared at 181/2 in 24 overs) caught the attention of the experts who asked Ishan during the post-match press conference if this is the way India would play Tests matches in future, much like England, whose aggressive style of playing has been give the term ‘Bazball’.
