England opener Ben Duckett had a brain-fade moment on Day 2 of the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford in Manchester on Thursday, July 24. The left-hander almost threw his bat onto the stumps as he lost his grip on the bat.The incident took place in the second over of England’s first innings. Debutant Anshul Kamboj bowled a short delivery that nipped back in, and Duckett played across the line before losing his control over the bat. As he looked back, the bat fell near the stumps, and he was very lucky to survive a hit-wicket dismissal.Sharing the video on X, Sky Sports wrote:"Heart-in-mouth stuff for Ben Duckett...
