Rohit Sharma's Move Against England In Rajkot Test Is A Massive First In 'Bazball Era'

Yashasvi Jaiswal hit an unbeaten double century to help India to its biggest-ever win on Sunday.

Yashasvi Jaiswal hit an unbeaten double century to help India to its biggest-ever win on Sunday, crushing England by 434 runs in the third Test to take a 2-1 lead in the series. The match in Rajkot also saw India becoming the first-ever team in the 'Bazball era' to declare their innings against England. The Bazball era is referred to as the time that started after Brendon McCullum took over as England's Test team coach in May 2022. Talking about the game, India were solid at the score of 430 for 4 with a lead of 556 runs when captain Rohit Sharma decided to declare the innings and ask England to bat.

Chasing 557 for victory, England's batting fell like a pack of cards with the loss of eight wickets in the final session to be dismissed for 122 on day four in Rajkot.

Ravindra Jadeja got Mark Wood out for 33 as the final wicket -- and his fifth -- and he kissed the pitch as India registered their greatest win in terms of runs.

It was England's second-biggest Test loss since their 562-run defeat to Australia in 1934.
