But, it is what transpired after the dismissal that drew all the limelight. After the wicket, Akash stopped Duckett on his way to the pavilion and had a few words with him. Duckett also said something. Now, that has made all the news. Veteran India cricketer Dinesh Karthik has reacted to it. Karthik was not sure if it was the right way to send a batter off. Karthik also suspected that the two may be knowing each other well by the way they interacted. 

‘Not many batsmen would behave the way Ben Duckett did’

“I'm not sure if this is the right way to send off a batter, especially after you've got him out. Not many batsmen would behave the way Ben Duckett did, or rather did. It looked like they knew each other really well," he said while on commentary.
