IND Vs ENG, 3rd Test: Mohammed Siraj Roars At Ben Duckett's Face, Brushes Shoulder After Dismissal; Video

Mohammed Siraj brought intensity and emotion to Lord’s as he struck early in England’s second innings, removing Ben Duckett in the sixth over in dramatic fashion. Siraj not only got the breakthrough, but he made sure Duckett knew it, unleashing a roar right in the batter’s face, followed by a slight shoulder contact as he walked past.

Bowling from around the wicket, Siraj angled one into the pitch, just outside off stump. Duckett, staying deep in his crease, attempted to play an aggressive pull shot off the back foot.

However, the ball came on quicker than expected, climbing awkwardly and cramping him for room. The mistimed shot ballooned tamely to mid-on, where Jasprit Bumrah made no mistake, taking a comfortable catch.

Duckett’s brief but brisk stay at the crease ended with a run-a-ball 12, and England were reduced to 22/1.

'Same Like You': Rishabh Pant Fires Back At Ben Duckett’s Sledge With Sharp Comeback During IND Vs ENG, 3rd Test Match; Video

Day 3 of the Lord’s Test between India and England brought not just intense cricket but also a sharp exchange of words that lit up the morning session. After starting the day with two crisp boundaries off Jofra Archer, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul slowed down considerably.

Sensing the drop in scoring rate, England’s Ben Duckett tried to stir things up by sledging Pant, hoping to break his focus. With India trying to rebuild after early setbacks, Duckett walked across and cheekily asked Pant, "Just batting for the draw?" trying to question the visitors’ intent.

But Pant, known for his fearless attitude and quick wit, wasn’t rattled. With a nod and a smirk, he replied, “Same like you?” instantly flipping the pressure back onto the hosts.

Pant’s retort was a direct reminder of England’s own slow and cautious start on Day 1, when Duckett and Zak Crawley had managed just 39 runs in the first 13 overs, far from the aggressive ‘Bazball’ style they are known for.

With his sharp sense of humor and presence of mind, Rishabh Pant not only held his ground with the bat but also won the psychological battle with a one-liner that left Duckett and England speechless.
