Gambhir hails India's record ODI chase as 'just batting'

India's men's cricket team achieved a new benchmark by successfully chasing a target that set the highest run‑chase record in One Day International history. The victory underscored the team's aggressive batting approach, which left commentators impressed. Gautam Gambhir, former opening batsman and current commentator, described the performance as "not cricket, this is only batting," highlighting the dominance of the batsmen over the opposition's bowling. His remarks captured the sentiment that the chase was driven more by relentless hitting than traditional cricket tactics. The win adds to India's growing reputation for high‑scoring chases in the limited‑overs format.
