In the IND vs ENG 3rd Test, Ben Duckett slams the fastest Test century by an English batter
The opener of the England cricket team, Ben Duckett, advocates Bazball, the fastest Test ton by an English batter in India, during his side’s third Test in Rajkot on Friday.
Duckett reached the three-figure mark for the third time in his Test career in his 88th delivery with a straight drive off Mohammed Siraj, which ran away for a four.
The fastest century by an overseas batter in India is by Adam Gilchrist, who got to the three-figure mark in his 84th delivery at the Wankhede in 2001.
The second-fastest to do so is West Indies’ Clive Lloyd, who scored an 85-ball hundred against India at the Chinnaswamy in 1974.
The blazing hundred by Duckett is also the seventh-joint-fastest by an Englishman, going level with Kevin Pietersen.
