IND vs ENG 2024: “He’s not learnt from you” – Nasser Hussain slams Ben Duckett over his comments on Yashavi Jaiswal’s aggressive batting

Former England skipper Nasser Hussain lashed out at opener Ben Duckett over his comments on Yashasvi Jaiswal’s aggressive batting. Duckett had earlier said they deserve credit as the opposition batters are playing aggressively.

Jaiswal scored a fine knock of 214 runs in the second innings at Rajkot with the help of 14 fours and a dozen sixes, the joint-most in a Test innings along with Wasim Akram.

“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 told the media during a press conference in Rajkot.

However, Hussain said Jaiswal hasn’t learnt from England but from his hard upbringing. Jaiswal has always worked hard in his career to reach the heights which he has achieved in his career. The left-hander has amassed 545 runs in the first three Test matches against England at an average of 109 and a strike rate of 81.10.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Nasser Hussain said, “He’s not learnt from you. He’s learnt from his upbringing, all the hard yards he had to put in growing up. If anything, lads, look at him and learn from him. I hope there’s a little bit of self-introspection going on. Otherwise it becomes a cult – and, at times, Bazball and this regime has been described as such, where you cannot criticise within or externally.”

The reputed commentator called a spade a spade and said there should be realism in the England dressing room.

“When you’re living in an environment in a bubble that has got so much good messaging and positive vibes, you go into a press conference and you’re never going to step back and go, ‘they may have got too many and we’re just going to play for a draw’. I enjoy their positivity but there has to be a little bit of realism in there as well. Obviously, chasing 600 in India batting last is not a particularly good option to look.”

India and England will next take on each other at JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi in the fourth Test match from Friday.
