His statement came soon after Yashasvi Jaiswal’s charismatic innings on the third day of the Test and led to several former cricketers criticizing him, saying aggressive batting existed even before England decided to play in that style. Ahead of the fifth Test in Dharamsala, India captain Rohit Sharma gave his opinion and said that Rishabh Pant always liked to play aggressively, long before England decided to adopt baseball. The 36-year-old Rohit said Duckett may not have seen him bat and also said he doesn’t know what baseball actually means, but praised England for playing good cricket in this series. Rohit Sharma replied to Ben Duckett in his own style Rohit was quoted by News 18 as saying, “Yashasvi Jaiswal learning from Ben Duckett?
