In a twist of fate, Kuldeep Yadav sent Ben Duckett packing with what seemed like a fortuitous delivery in the ongoing Test match between India and England in Rajkot. 

Watch the video here:



At the 50.1 over mark, Yadav delivered what appeared to be a nothing ball. Duckett, perhaps sensing an opportunity to capitalize, attempted to force the issue with a loose shot. However, luck favored Yadav as the ball found the toe end of Duckett's bat, sending it straight into the waiting hands of Shubman Gill at extra covers.

The dismissal showcased the fine margins that often separate success from failure in the game of cricket. While Duckett's intent was clear, his execution fell short, resulting in a crucial breakthrough for the Indian side. Yadav, on the other hand, seized the moment, making the most of Duckett's misjudgment.

Ben Duckett, England's opener, notched up his third Test century at Niranjan Shah Stadium. The left-hander achieved the feat with a boundary off Mohammed Siraj in the 26th over. Duckett had posed a significant challenge for India, but they managed to dismiss him.

Despite the element of luck involved, Yadav's ability to capitalize on Duckett's lapse in concentration cannot be discounted. In a game where momentum can shift in an instant, Yadav's timely wicket provided India with a much-needed boost, underscoring the importance of capitalizing on every opportunity presented on the cricket field.

At the time of writing, ENG trail by 179 runs, with the duo of Stokes and Foakes taking charge at the crease.
