In a delightful twist during the fifth Test match between India and England at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala, Australian women cricketer Amanda-Jade Wellington took to social media to playfully tease English batsman Ben Duckett for his dismissal in the second innings.

Duckett, renowned for his aggressive batting style, found himself outfoxed by a routine delivery from Ravichandran Ashwin, prompting Wellington to seize the moment for some light-hearted jibe at the English opener. With her witty comment, Wellington injected a dose of humor into the intense cricketing clash between the two nations.

Ben Duckett’s dismissal

On the fifth delivery of Ashwin’s first over, Duckett opted to charge down the track in an attempt to dispatch the ball down the ground. However, he failed to connect with the delivery, falling prey to Ashwin’s subtle drift and turn. Before Duckett could recover, the bails of his off-stump were dislodged, a consequence of his misjudgment.
