IND vs ENG 5th Test: Mohammed Siraj's bizarre blunder leaves Prasidh Krishna red-faced
Harry Brook has been England's most dangerous presence at the crease so far on Day 4 of the fifth and final Test, pushing India onto the back foot with his aggressive approach. But one moment in particular summed up the dramatic swings in this match and left India pacer Prasidh Krishna red-faced.
In the 35th over of England's chase, Brook top-edged a pull shot off Prasidh and the ball went high into the air. Mohammed Siraj at long leg took the catch cleanly, prompting Prasidh to break into celebration. The pacer stretched his arms out wide in triumph, walking in front of Brook as if the contest had turned.

However, he had missed one crucial detail.
Siraj, in the act of completing the catch, had taken a step back and touched the boundary cushions with his foot and then crossed it altogether.
That meant it wasn't a wicket, but rather, six runs.
Brook, fully aware of the situation, calmly walked back to the crease, while Prasidh's face quickly turned to one of disappointment. His celebration abruptly ended as he realised what had happened. Siraj, too, had his hands on his head in disbelief, visibly frustrated at his misjudgment.
However, things remained jovial between Siraj and Prasidh as the two shared an embrace at lunch.

Shedding weight, Karthi Selvam back in India hockey team fold
CHENNAI: After a two-year span, Tamil Nadu's Karthi Selvam has earned a spot in the Indian men's hockey team, for the four-match tour to Australia from August 15 to 21. The 23-year-old Karthi last featured in national colours during the Asian Champions Trophy and had a good outing in front of his home crowd. However, he was out of reckoning since then before securing his entry into the 24-member squad to Perth. 'It feels good to get a chance after a long time. After the Asian Champions Trophy, I was not part of the Indian camp, so I did not train regularly due to which I put on a lot of weight. Being a forward, fitness is very important, and I have worked hard in the last one year to be fit. I see a lot of improvement and think that I have reached the standards to be part of the Indian team,' Karthi told TOI over a call. Karthi returned to the core probables group for the national camp earlier this year and was part of several India 'A' tours to Europe. The performances in those tours could have landed him a spot in the India squad. 'After improving my fitness, coaches told me to work on my play from nine yards and work on footwork. The experience in the recent tour to Europe was productive as we got to compete with the main teams. I created several goal-scoring opportunities, and the coaches told me that I have improved my game,' Karthi added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play this game for 1 minute and see why everyone is addicted.

'I do not have any pressure, but I have to make full use of the opportunity that I get in the four matches. I would like to execute what the coach wants and play for the team.' One area of concern has been the lack of field goals and efforts are being put in to improve in this aspect. 'We are working on scoring field goals. We are focusing on specific inputs, such as how to score from the top of the D and how to build a good connection among the forwards. Field goals will come only if there is proper coordination between the forwards. From outside, I felt there was a good connection, but it was missing for a short period. We created many chances but failed to convert them.'
