Didn't Expect The Words I Said To Get Such Big Reaction: Prasidh On Verbal Duel With Root
Test Match Special: India fast bowler Prasidh Krishna revealed that engaging Joe Root in a verbal exchange on the second day of the fifth Test at The Oval was part of a deliberate strategy to disrupt the former England captain’s focus. While Krishna downplayed the incident as mere banter, he admitted to being surprised at Root getting rattled.
Root walked out to the crease with the team in a strong position at 129/2 in response to India's 224. The very first ball Root faced, a rising delivery from good length, he was rapped on the glove by Prasidh. Two balls later, a wobble-seam delivery straightened to beat Root's defense. It was then, possibly, that Prasidh said those words to him.
The very next ball, Root guided a boundary past gully and even offered a verbal reaction to Prasidh's action from before. At the change of overs, umpire Kumar Dharmasena intervened and had a long chat with Prasidh, with even skipper Shubman Gill and KL Rahul jumping in the bowlers' defense.
