Amidst the intense cricketing battle between England and India in their five-match World Test Championship series, England opener, Ben Duckett has found himself at the centre of a storm not for his batting but for a tweet dating back to 2013 that has caught the eye of fans and social media detectives alike.

Ben Duckett's decade-old tweet on Sakshi Dhoni sparks controversy

As Duckett showcased his skills with innings of 35 and 47 in the first Test and accumulated 131 runs over four innings in the ongoing series, it's an eight-year-old tweet about former Indian captain, MS Dhoni’s wife, Sakshi Dhoni that has taken the spotlight.

On April 7, 2013, Duckett, seemingly fascinated by Sakshi Dhoni during an IPL match, took to Twitter to express his admiration in a manner that has now sparked controversy.

"Dhoni’s girlfriend/wife is top drawerrrrr," Duckett tweeted, apparently unaware that MS Dhoni and Sakshi had been married since July 4, 2010.

The unearthed tweet has rapidly become a talking point among fans and on social media platforms, with reactions ranging from amusement to disapproval. While some cricket followers are chuckling over Duckett's years-old infatuation, others are questioning the decorum of his remarks, given Sakshi's marital status to one of cricket's most respected figures.

As Duckett continues to represent England on the international stage, this little slice of social media history has added an interesting angle to the narrative of the ongoing Test series, proving that sometimes the game beyond the boundary lines is just as enthralling as the action on the field.
