Duckett, who had looked aggressive from the start, attempted to take on the bowler by pulling down the ground but mistimed it horribly. The ball came off the inside half of the bat and went straight to Jasprit Bumrah at mid-on.Siraj’s celebration was as fiery as the delivery itself - charging toward Duckett and celebrating in his face, with a visible shoulder bump to boot. The intensity was unmistakable, a clear indication that India were still simmering from the late-day antics of Day 3.WATCH:

The tension had been building since Crawley’s deliberate delays on Saturday evening, which sparked a verbal clash between him and Gill, picked up by stump mics and followed by a public apology from Sky Sports. Duckett had also gotten involved in the altercation, and his early exit on Sunday seemed like poetic justice for the fired-up Indian camp.
