Ben Duckett is presently representing England in the five-match World Test Championship series against India. The left-handed opener scored 35 and 47 in the first Test of the series.
While Ben Duckett has pleased fans with his batting prowess, some social media users have dredged out a previous tweet he sent criticizing MS Dhoni’s wife Sakshi. Duckett may have seen Sakshi on TV during an IPL match from the 2013 season, and he tweeted on April 7, 2013:
“Dhoni’s girlfriend/wife is top drawerrrrr.”

Dhoni's girlfriend/wife is top drawerrrrr

Duckett was presumably unaware that the couple was married in 2010. The message has revived on the microblogging site, with cricket fans leaving new comments and some even reposting it on their timelines.
Ashwin’s off-spin traps Ben Duckett in second innings of IND vs ENG Test
The World Test Championship series’ second game is happening now in Vizag, India playing England. After three days, England must make 332 runs in the next two days to get a 2-0 series lead. England currently stands at 67/1 after 14 overs on Day 3.
Ben Duckett was the only England player out in the second innings. He scored 28 runs from 27 balls before misunderstanding a toss from off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. The ball touched his bat, hit his pad, and soared. The wicketkeeper, KS Bharat, snagged a fine diving catch, sending Duckett back to the sidelines.
Ben Duckett managed good beginnings in all his four innings. Though, he fell short of making them into big scores. In the second Test, his scores were 21 and 28.
India needs nine wickets to win the test. It’ll be intriguing to watch which team wins in Vizag.
