England’s Ben Duckett trolled for calling Royal Challengers Bangalore a ‘joke’

England cricket team member Ben Duckett had only expressed his surprise at the explosive Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batting line-up, but his tweet was misunderstood by several.

While Duckett’s intention was not to make fun of the team captained by Virat Kohli, 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.

Ben Duckett’s tweet, which was actually praise for Royal Challengers Bangalore, earned him abuse from RCB fans.

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.
