England cricketer Ben Duckett has again attempted to roast Indian skipper, Virat Kohli as he did last year as well and the result has been the same on both the occasion as he got badly trolled. It was around a year ago and but the man took a little lesson and hinted at something similar on Friday, this time at Kohli himself after the latter belted his 41st ODI century in the third match against Australia. The Indian fans were clearly not happy with him and trolled him.
Kohli hit his second consecutive century of the series after the match-winning 116 in Nagpur after Australia reached the tally of 313 for 5 batting first. India lost quite a few wickets early in the chase and it was left to Kohli to inch closer to the target by making partnerships.

The Indian skipper stitched a 59-run partnership with MS Dhoni(26); 88 with Kedar Jadhav (26) and 45 with Vijay Shankar (32) to take his side nearer to 314 before falling for 123 in the 38th over. His knock came in 95 balls and included 16 fours and a six. His dismissal was a crucial blow for India and derailed their chase even though the tail-enders did their bit. India was all out for 281, losing the game by 32 runs.
Duckett, who was recently in India playing for the England Lions against India ‘A’ replied to a tweet that wanted an adjective to describe Kohli and he tweeted “A joke?” The Indian fans were offended with the cricketer’s yet another “joke” remark and lashed out at him.
Here are some of the reactions the Twitterati came up with lashing out at Duckett who has played four Tests and three ODIs for England since 2016.
