Anderson's 'duck' breaks 110 year-old record; gets mocked by Sehwag

Anderson's 'duck' breaks 110 year-old record; gets mocked by Sehwag New Delhi:  Virender Sehwag, who has earned himself the tagline of ‘twitter king’ after a series of hilarious tweets on almost every trending topic, has now given a proof of his sharp memory on the cricketing  field.  James Anderson, his latest victim, was out for a ‘king pair’ in the second Test match between India and England and Sehwag was quick to remind him that it was payback time for him as he had dismissed Sehwag for a ‘king pair’ in 2011. James Anderson was out for a duck in both the innings of the 2nd Test and became the first English batsman to get out on a ‘king pair’ in 110 years. The last batsman to do so was Ernie Hayes in 1906. Notably, Anderson has a record of getting out on a duck. He has been dismissed for zero 21 times; the most by any England player, with six of them coming against Australia. Anderson was the last man to be dismissed LBW by Jayant Yadav as England slumped to their second biggest defeat to India as Virat and Co. went 1-0 up in five-match series with a 246 run win at Vizag.
