Players Like Root Should Be Told To Play Natural Game: AB De Villiers On Bazball
Former South Africa: Former South Africa cricketer AB de Villiers has weighed in on the struggles of star England batter Joe Root and the team's controversial 'Bazball' approach, sparking a debate about the team's tactics and Root's batting style.
Root, known for his classical approach to batting, has faced heavy scrutiny after scoring just 77 runs in six innings of the ongoing five-Test series against India. De Villiers, speaking on his YouTube channel, expressed his concerns about Root's departure from his natural game, attributing it to the team's aggressive 'Bazball' approach.
"When I played against him (Root), I felt he was one of the best Test batters I have ever played against. But that has changed and it's because of Bazball. I know it's a big statement but the ones that you find hardest to play against in Test match cricket are the ones who are hardest to get out. And now he is getting out on reverse sweeps and kind of blowing out of his norm. I don't like that,” said De Villiers.
