After India declared their innings at 430/4, English opener Ben Duckett‘s run out by wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel triggered a collapse on Sunday (February 18) at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.

This happened early in their second innings on Day 4. In the seventh over, Duckett flicked the ball bowled by Jasprit Bumrah to mid-wickets and ran for a single. However, as his opening partner Zak Crawley stopped him midway, Duckett tried to run back quickly, but it was too late.

Mohammed Siraj collected the ball and aimed for the stumps. Jurel, who was behind the stumps, grabbed the ball to remove the bails after pulling off a knee slide, showing his brilliant presence of mind.

Fans on social media are sharing the video to praise the youngster’s skills. Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan called the run out one of the best in Test cricket.

Ben Duckett thinks the reason behind Yashasvi Jaiswal’s knock is bazball

English opener Ben Duckett made a bizarre claim after Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a blazing hundred on Day 3 of the third Test. Duckett, who scored a century (153 off just 151 balls) in their first innings, feels Jaiswal learned from Bazball and played such a whirlwind of a knock.

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.
Duckett said
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.
He added

Jaiswal converted his century into a double hundred, remaining not out at 216 off 236 balls. India declared their innings at 430/4, and with the help of Ravindra Jadeja‘s fifer, Rohit Sharma and Co. bundled out the visitors for 122 runs, winning the third Test by 434 runs.
