The incident involving Hardik Pandya and Ben Duckett took place during the second T20I of the five-match series at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai on Saturday, January 25.
Ben Duckett came to open the innings along with Phil Salt after the India National Cricket Team won the toss and invited the England National Cricket Team to bat first.
In the second T20I, the 30-year-old left-handed opener didn't start well against the Indian bowlers. Also, he faced a brutal blow on his helmet in the 2nd over, which was bowled by Hardik Pandya.
Pandya instantly checked on the batter to see if the batter was fine, and the physio soon came out in the middle for a customary check-up. There was no major trouble for Duckett as he seemed to be fine and put his helmet back on to start batting.
