Indian cricket commentator has praised the openers, Zak Crawley (64 off 57) and Ben Duckett (43 off 38) for providing the home side with the blazing start in the first innings on the second day of the 5th Test at the Kennington Oval in London.
According to details, taking to X (formerly Twitter), Bhogle has acknowledged the aggressive batting approach in the decisive Test match. "England are showing the great power that fearlessness delivers."
"India's bowling appears scattered and a little short of ideas. This is extraordinary, clever batting from Crawley and Duckett," added Bhogle.

It is pertinent to note that England bowlers have perplexed the Indian batting attack, as the hosts were skittled out for 224 inside the 31st over, with Karun Nair the only batter to notch a half-century.
England, in reply, were off to a solid start, with their openers stitching a 92-run partnership to mount pressure on the Indian bowlers straightaway.
