Mon Sep 30 23:50:20 UTC 2024: ## India Breaks Test Cricket Record, Lucknow Super Giants Trolls Ben Duckett
**Kanpur, India**: In a historic moment for Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed a record-breaking 50 runs in just 3 overs during the second Test against Bangladesh on September 30th, 2024. This feat eclipsed England’s previous record set in July 2024, making India the fastest team to reach 50 runs in a Test match.
The Indian team went on to set further records for fastest 100, 150, 200, and 250 runs in the match, leading to a flurry of social media activity. The Lucknow Super Giants, a team in the Indian Premier League, took a light-hearted jab at England batsman Ben Duckett, stating that all credit for India’s record-breaking performance goes to him.
This playful dig stems from a comment made by Duckett in February 2024, where he praised Jaiswal’s aggressive batting style while attributing it to England’s ‘Bazball’ approach that encourages aggressive batting. The ‘Bazball’ strategy, a term coined for England’s new cricket philosophy, has seen the team gain success through aggressive tactics.
However, Jaiswal, in a later interview, dismissed any connection between his batting and the ‘Bazball’ approach, stating that he simply focuses on playing his best. This incident highlights the playful banter and rivalry often seen in the cricketing world.
