England star Ben Duckett made a strange comment, saying: "When you see players from the opposition playing like that, it almost feels like we should take some credit that they're playing differently than how other people play Test cricket."
Among the many performances that led to India's win over England in Rajkot, star batter Yashasvi Jaiswal's was truly special. The left-handed opener became the first Indian to score two double-hundreds against England in Tests during the fourth day of the third Test match in Rajkot on Sunday. Jaiswal's first double ton against England came in the second Test match in Visakhapatnam, where he scored 209 runs in India's first innings. The 22-year-old's second double hundred came in Rajkot when he played an unbeaten 214-run knock in the third Test match of the five-game series.
Jaiswal also smashed the most sixes in a Test series for India and became the first-ever player to hit 20 sixes in a Test series worldwide with 22 overhead boundaries against England in the ongoing series.
However, after Jaiswal had scored a ton, England star Ben Duckett made a strange comment. "When you see players from the opposition playing like that, it almost feels like we should take some credit that they're playing differently than how other people play Test cricket," Duckett told the media during a press conference.
"We saw it a bit in the summer and it's quite exciting to see other players and other teams are also playing that aggressive style of cricket. He looks like a superstar in the making, unfortunately, he's in some very good form at the moment. He's due a couple of low ones," Duckett said while making a tongue-in-cheek remark.
Former England captain Nasser Hussain blasted that comment by the England star.
