IND v ENG: Boundaries brought in for Bazball? Ex-Eng cricketer’s claim raises eyebrows

Captain Shubman Gill’s unbeaten century, coupled with Ravindra Jadeja’s support, propelled India to 310/5 on Day 1 at Edgbaston. Former England pacer Steven Finn noted the shortened boundaries, linking it to England’s ‘Bazball’ approach. Gill’s captaincy and Jaiswal’s aggressive start put India in a strong position despite Woakes’ early breakthroughs.
