 Cricket-England's Stokes stands by 'Bazball' despite India shellacking
==========

England's Ben Stokes stands by the team's high-risk approach in cricket, known as 'Bazball', despite their heavy defeat against India. India crushed England by 434 runs in the third match in Rajkot, but Stokes remains committed to their bold tactics. Stokes believes that the team can still win the five-test series and will be aiming to win the next two matches. The England batters have faced criticism for poor shot selection, including Joe Root's ill-advised reverse scoop. India's opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 214, hitting 12 sixes. Ravindra Jadeja was awarded the player-of-the-match for his match-haul of seven wickets and a century in the first innings. Despite the defeat, Stokes remains confident in the team's approach and is focused on winning the series.
