“He’s a…”: Indian Pacer Prasidh Krishna shares about his heated moment with Joe Root

We saw the aggressive side of Joe Root, after some exchange of words with Prasidh Krishna. Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik also reacted on the heated moment. “I genuinely wouldn’t know at this point. I really want to find out. I haven’t seen Joe Root react that way. He said something, which irked Root a bit, because he isn’t the one to react. He made it sound like, ‘don’t try to be too smart here’. Things started there, and Prasidh Krishna didn’t back down,” Karthik said this on Sky Sports Cricket.

“By then, a couple of wickets had fallen, and it kind of went on to pick after that. That was a session which told you everything about this series. England had it there in the first session, but India pulled it back in such a way that they were in as good position as England were.”

Later on, Prasidh Krishna revealed the moment with Joe Root ” Well, it was a very small thing. I think it was just a competitive edge amongst us that was coming out. Both of us are good mates off the field. It was just a little bit of a banter and both of us enjoyed it,“

He also shared “That was also the plan. But I didn’t really expect a couple of words that I said to get such a big reaction from him. But like I said, I love the guy that he is. He’s a legend of the game.”
