India have set a massive target of 374 for England with their brilliant second innings batting led by Jaiswal's century. It would be a record chase if England get over the line, and the contest, as usual, has been pretty intense.
Yashasvi Jaiswal Tries To Disturb Ben Duckett's Concentration
Ben Duckett started off England's innings on a positive note and scored 54 runs off 83 balls. However, it was a much slower knock than some of his previous ones, and it was something that Indian players tried to exploit and make him take notice of.
In a video shared by the official X handle of the Sony Sports Network, Yashasvi Jaiswal is seen sledging Ben Duckett. He is seen coming towards the English batter and telling him that he wants to see the reverse-sweep, which the opener utilised brilliantly during the first innings of the game.
"Let Me See Reverse-Sweep Here. Come on lads, come on boys, come on."
It was a tactic by the Indian players to put pressure on Ben Duckett. Eventually, the sledging from Yashasvi Jaiswal worked, and Ben Duckett lost his wicket off the bowling of Prasidh Krishna in the 23rd over of the innings. It was a big wicket for India as Duckett has been in great form and has the ability to score runs quickly.
Ben Duckett: Centrestage Of India-England Altercations
Moreover, Duckett has been involved in plenty of altercations throughout the series. Indian players have targeted him while he is batting, and the Englishman has also returned the favour when Indian batters walk out to bat.
Overall, it has been a fiesty series, and the duo of Duckett and Jaiswal have played a massive part in it with their world-class skills. After the wicket of Duckett, Siraj got the wicket of Ollie Pope as well, but Harry Brook has batted with aggressive intent and has put pressure back on India.
