Move Over 'BazBall'! Team India Creates History With 'DravBall' In 2nd Test Against West Indies

In their second innings, the Indian team went into white-ball cricket mode and smashed 181 runs in just 24 overs before declaring the innings. India scored their runs at a run rate of 7.54, the highest in Tests by a team during an inning lasting at least 20 overs.

The Indian cricket team re-wrote the Test record books following a rare display of ultra-attacking long-format cricket on day four of the second Test against West Indies at Port of Spain on Monday, becoming the team with the highest team run-rate in a Test inning lasting a minimum of 20 overs. While England drawing polarising reactions from Test cricket lovers, and purists with their 'Bazball' school of cricket, which focuses on positive and attacking gameplay and the need to achieve clear results, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid seemed to have taken a leaf from England's book to present to fans what could be the first exhibition of 'Dravball'. bazball who?? #INDvWI #Bazball pic.twitter.com/fNhz7hTWqJ
