On Saturday, February 17, on the third day of the third Test against India in Rajkot, England batsman Jonny Bairstow was out in four balls without opening any account. With this dismissal, he held the unwanted record of being dismissed for the most number of ducks by any batsman against India in Tests. In this matter, he has even defeated the tail batsmen from all over the world. This is Jonny Bairstow’s 8th duck against India.

When Joe Root was out in the 40th over, Joe Root came to bat. But he could not take his batting much further and was out for a duck in just four balls. Talking about Jonny Bairstow’s wicket, Kuldeep Yadav trapped him on the fourth ball of the 41st over of the innings and showed the way to the pavilion by getting him out LBW.

This was a very brilliant ball from Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep had fanned this ball and pitched it outside the off stump. The ball took a sharp turn inside and hit Bairstow’s pad. Bairstow was not expecting this. Here all the fielders including the bowler appealed for LBW and the umpire declared him out. However, he challenged the umpire’s decision by taking review. However, the third umpire’s decision also did not go in his favor.
