England Cricketer Ben Duckett has been on the receiving end of the anger of Indian cricket fans after he called Virat Kohli led IPL side Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) a ‘joke’ on social media.
While Duckett’s intention was not to make fun of the team, his tweet was misinterpreted by several Indian fans who launched an attack on Duckett’s credentials as a player and even attacked the England cricket team.
Duckett’s tweet came out during RCB’s opening match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday night, a game in which the cricket fraternity witnessed batting maestros such as Kohli, Brendon McCullum, AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock occupying the top four spots.
“RCB’s team is a joke 😰😰 #IPL” he posted on his twitter handle.
However, Little did the England left-handed batsman, who had to return home from last year’s Ashes tour after throwing alcohol during a party at team’s senior player James Anderson, realise that it would not go down too well with the Indian fans.
“Just like your eng career!” a RCB fan replied.
“Very similar to your batting against spin bowling 😂” another fan replied.
