LONDON: (Aug 2) India pacer Prasidh Krishna relished the banter with ‘good mate’ Joe Root on day two of the fifth and final Test and said riling up England’s batting mainstay was part of the team’s plans.
Prasidh and Root had a tense moment that required interventions from the umpires. The usually composed Root reacted animatedly and was clearly not amused with Prasidh’s comments following a boundary in the 22st over.
“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,” said Prasidh in the post-day press conference.
