The England Great Blasts star player says, Learn "from His Upbringing, Not You"
Yashasvi Jaiswal's was truly special. Among the many performances that led to India's win over England in Rajkot, The left-handed opener became the first Indian to score two double-hundreds against England in Tests during the fourth day of the third Test match in Rajkot on Sunday.
However, after Jaiswal had scored a century, England star Ben Duckett made a strange comment. Duckett told the media during a press conference, "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 while making a tongue-in-cheek remark, "We saw it a bit in the summer, and it's quite exciting to see other players and other teams also playing that aggressive style of cricket. He looks like a superstar in the making; unfortunately, he's in some very good form at the moment. He's due a couple of low ones.”
Former England captain Nasser Hussain blasted that comment by the England star.
“The comment on Jaiswal that he has learned from us. I am going to touch on that. He has not learned from you; he has learned from his upbringing, and all the hard work 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,” Hussain told Michael Atherton on the podcast.
“So, whatever they are saying in public and in that dressing room, I hope they are going back into their room with a little bit of self-introspection. I can look at that boy and learn from him. Otherwise, it becomes a cult, doesn’t it? At times, Bazball has been described as a cult where you cannot criticize either internally or externally. Even in this regime, there is room for learning and improving.”
