Former England captain Nasser Hussain slams Ben Duckett for Jaiswal remark

Former England captain Nasser Hussain had sharp words for England opener Ben Duckett, who cheekily sought credit for Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dominant innings in the 2nd Test.

The batter previously suggested that England should get credit for India “playing differently than how other people play Test cricket.”

Speaking to Sky Sports, Hussain targeted Duckett’s remark. “He has not learned from you, he has learned from his upbringing and all the hard yards he had to put in while growing up, he has learned from the IPL. If anything, I would look at him and learn from him,” he said.

Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 214 in the second innings of the Test in Rajkot. This was the Indian opener’s second double ton in the series so far.

Jaiswal also entered the record books by hitting the highest number of sixes (12) by an Indian in a Test innings in the Rajkot Test that India won by a massive 434-run margin.

"Test cricket is hard, but I thought that when I'm in there, I need to give my 100%," Jaiswal said after India took a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
