'Can You Hit Big Sixes?': Prasidh Krishna Holes Out After Being Teased By Harry Brook
Last Updated:
Prasidh Krishna was challenged to hit a big six and he accepted it only to be caught in the deep.
There has been plenty of chatter between India and England stars in the ongoing first Test between India and England. From Rishabh Pant's cheeky admiration for Ben Stokes to a heated exchange between Harry Brook and Mohammed Siraj – there's been plenty of on-field drama. During Day 4 of the contest, Brook was at the center of another verbal exchange that resulted in India getting bowled out for 364 in their second dig in Leeds on Monday.
During the 96th over of India innings, with spinner Shoaib Bashir operating from one end, Brook teased tailender Prasidh Krishna by enquiring about his big six-hitting abilities.
'Can you hit big sixes?" asked Brook who was fielding in the slips.
Krishna, took it sportingly, and responded, 'If I had to, I would be called Brook."
However, the needling seemed to have got to the India no. 11 who went for the big shot the very next delivery and ended up being caught in the deep for an 11-ball duck.
Watch the exchange below:

Krishna's exit completed another lower-order collapse for India in the contest. From 333/4, the tourists slipped to 364-all out – losing their last six wickets for the addition of just 31 runs.
In the first innings too, India lost seven wickets for 41 runs to be bowled out for 471. In reply, England made 465 despite a brilliant five-wicket haul from Jasprit Bumrah.
Centuries from KL Rahul (137) and Rishabh Pant (118) in the second innings helped India set England 371 to win the Test. At the close of play on the fourth day, the hosts were 21/0 and need 350 runs more to win on the Day 5.

Duckett-Crawley Century Stand Puts IND Under The Pump, ENG 117/0 At Lunch
Last Updated: Chasing a challenging target of 371 for victory, England were 117/0 at lunch break with Ben Duckett unbeaten on 64 and Zak Crawley batting on 42. Indian bowlers' attempts to secure an early advantage were thwarted by Ben Duckett's resilient unbeaten fifty, as England reached 117 without loss by lunch on the final day of the first Test on Tuesday. Chasing a challenging target of 371 for victory, England were led by Duckett (64*) and Zak Crawley (42*) at the break, with the hosts still needing 254 runs to win. Apart from Bumrah, the other Indian pacers — Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Shardul Thakur — were inconsistent and conceded many easy runs, which the England batters were eager to exploit. Bumrah provided the Indian bowling unit's best moment when he outfoxed Duckett with a beautiful off-cutter. However, the secondary pacers failed to create any significant moments of their own and appeared ordinary. Duckett and Crawley, who have together scored over 2000 runs as Test openers, capitalised on anything short or full, playing cuts, pulls, and drives as England's innings gathered momentum, adding 96 runs in the first session after resuming at 21 without loss overnight. The home batters' strategy was clear — play out Bumrah with minimal risk and apply pressure on the other Indian quicks. Duckett led this approach and his cover drive off Prasidh was arguably the shot of the morning. The support pacers struggled with their lengths, prompting bowling coach Morne Morkel to come out and speak to them from the boundary. Meanwhile, Crawley supported Duckett well, standing a foot outside the crease to counteract swing and playing with a straight bat. Bumrah nearly dismissed him on 42, but could not secure a return catch despite a desperate dive. Ravindra Jadeja was introduced to change the pace of the game, but the Headingley pitch, which had been rolled with the heavy roller, did not provide him with the desired turn or bounce. India will need to find better lines and lengths in the second session, with the troubling memories of England chasing down 378 at Birmingham three years ago resurfacing.

India face prospect of unwanted record with England firmly in control on Day 5 of Headingley Test
India find themselves facing the prospect of surpassing a ignominious record that has been held by Australia for nearly a century with England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett getting the hosts off to a dream start in their chase of 371 at Headingley. read more India seamer Prasidh Krishna has been leaking runs above six-an-over so far in the first Test against England at Headingley. Reuters India face the prospect of achieving an unwanted first after England raced to 117/0 at lunch on Day 5 of the first Test in Leeds after being set a challenging 371 to win. No team in the history of Test cricket, after all, has lost a game after their batters scored five or more centuries. Australia currently holds the record for the most centuries in a losing cause in a Test, with their batters having scored four centuries in their three-wicket defeat at the hands of the 'Old Enemy' England in Melbourne during the 1928-29 Ashes – the legendary Donald Bradman's debut series. It remains the only instance of a team losing after accounting for four centuries. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Five centuries from four different Indian batters at Headingley As for the opening match of the five-Test series between India and England at Headingley, Rishabh Pant made history by becoming only the second wicketkeeper-batter in Test history – and the first Indian – to score twin hundreds in a Test. The 27-year-old headlined India's batting performance with scores of 134 and 118; captain Shubman Gill (147) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) also scored centuries in India's first innings, in which they posted 471. Senior opener KL Rahul later joined the list of centurions with a fine 137 in the second innings, helping India post 364 and set a target of 371. India, however, also suffered batting collapses in both innings – losing seven wickets for 41 runs in their first innings on Day 2 and six wickets for just 31 on the penultimate day. Additionally, a series of dropped chances along with expensive bowling from Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur and even from Mohammed Siraj allowed the Ben Stokes-led Englishmen to post 465, nearly cancelling out India's first innings total. It's not just the Indians who have accounted for centuries in the ongoing Test, with Ollie Pope scoring 106 in the first innings and Harry Brook falling (99) short of the milestone by a solitary run.

India vs England Test: 'Biggest applause since Tendulkar': Stuart Broad makes massive Rishabh Pant comparison after explosive ton
Rishabh Pant celebrating his century vs England on Day 4 India's star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant continued his red-hot form with another explosive century on Day 4 of the first Test against England at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds on Monday. Pant's 118 off 140 balls powered India to a commanding 364, extending their stronghold in what has been a riveting contest so far. Pant, who also struck 134 in the first innings, became the first Indian wicketkeeper to score centuries in both innings of a Test match — a feat previously achieved only by Zimbabwe's Andy Flower (142 & 199* vs South Africa in 2001). With this, Pant underlined once again why he's considered box office in whites. Never a dull moment with the 27-year-old at the crease, no matter the conditions. The Headingley crowd, known for its appreciation of quality cricket, gave Pant a send-off worthy of legends. The former England pacer Stuart Broad , when speaking in his podcast 'For The Love Of Cricket', highlighted the crowd's gesture with the biggest of comparisons. " One thing I noticed when he was walking off with both hundreds, the Headingley crowd were all on their feet, really appreciating everything that he'd done and the quality he'd shown. English crowds have always been supportive of opposition players when they do well, but this was probably the biggest sort of clap and hand I'd seen since (Sachin) Tendulkar's last tour here ." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 유일한 공식 무료 SOC 게임! 설치도 없습니다! 경복의 바다 게임 플레이 Undo IND vs ENG 1st Test: KL Rahul's grit, Rishabh Pant's fire keep India alive Pant's numbers continue to grow in stature.
