Team India Displays Aggressive Performance During Day 4 of Second Test Match
Team India displayed an assertive and dynamic approach during the fourth day of the second Test match against West Indies, switching to a style referred to as Bazball mode after Mohammed Siraj’s remarkable five-wicket haul, which bundled out the West Indies for a meager 255 runs. This outstanding performance gave the visitors a commanding 183-run lead in the first innings.
Opening Duo Blaze Through 98-Run Partnership in 71 Balls
The opening duo of Yasasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma put on an impressive 98-run partnership in merely 71 balls, with Rohit achieving his fastest Test fifty. As the two departed in consecutive overs, Ishan Kishan came out to bat at No.4 instead of Virat Kohli. Kishan later explained the reason behind this decision and Kohli’s involvement in it. In the twelfth over, Rohit was dismissed after scoring 57 runs off 44 balls, and shortly after, Yashasvi Jaiswal also got out without reaching a fifty for the first time in the series.
Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli Take Over
Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli then took over the batting duties, with the latter taking a more aggressive approach as he smashed a quickfire fifty. The Indian skipper then went on to score his fifty-fourth Test century, which was his second of the series. Gill and Kohli put up an unbeaten partnership of 113 runs in just 78 balls, with Gill scoring a fifty in the process.
