Fans expressed disbelief over Ben Duckett’s statement attributing Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal’s century in the ongoing Rajkot Test to England’s Bazball approach, labeling it as “incredibly delusional.”
During the ongoing Rajkot Test, England’s Ben Duckett indirectly suggested that Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal’s remarkable century was influenced by England’s Bazball approach. Jaiswal showcased exceptional batting skills, scoring 104 runs before retiring hurt on Day 3.
Duckett’s post-match remarks implied that England’s aggressive style of play was rubbing off on opposing players like Jaiswal.
“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. 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,” Duckett said.
This sparked disbelief among fans on X (formerly Twitter), with many considering Duckett’s statement and England’s perspective as delusional.
In line with these absurd takes, docking WTC points for each such take from a team member might be the only solution to stop them altogether #INDvsENG https://t.co/wEZAtGfocZ

See this what I was saying. The need to want credit for everything under the sun makes one think twice before giving them credit that they actually deserve…. https://t.co/SpCyKL5MlB
