As Duckett’s onslaught continued unabated, England’s innings gained momentum, with the talented opener etching his name in the record books as the fastest English cricketer to notch a century on Indian soil.
Despite the valiant efforts of the Indian bowlers, led by Ravichandran Ashwin’s milestone achievement of 500 Test wickets, Duckett’s dominance remained unchallenged, as he stamped his authority on the proceedings with a flurry of boundaries and exquisite strokeplay.
