After the second day’s play, England still trailed India by 238 runs.
Currently, the third match of the five-match Test series between India and England (IND vs ENG) is being played at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. Let us tell you that in this match today, on 16 February, on the second day of the game, in the first innings of England, batsman Ollie Pope played such a shot, the video of which went viral on social media within a short time.
In the match, Ollie Pope played a shot over the wicketkeeper against Ravindra Jadeja, which left the cricket fans quite surprised. Pope played a brilliant scoop behind the wicket off Jadeja’s ball, completely lowering his head and using his wrists.
Even Jadeja could not believe how anyone could play this shot. In the past, former Sri Lankan cricketer Tillakaratne Dilshan was quite famous for playing this type of scoop. So when Ollie Pope played this shot, fans on social media started calling it Duck Scoop.
