'You can't talk like that...': Kumar Dharmasena calls KL Rahul for a post match meeting due to...
Tensions remained high, and intensified in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy clash between India and England. On Day 2 of the fifth and final Test at The Oval, Joe Root and Prasidh Krishna had a fiery exchange.
The former England skipper was visibly upset after the Indian pacer had a few words for him, prompting Root to confront Prasidh following a boundary. The situation escalated enough for on-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Kumar Dharmasena to step in and speak to both players.
KL Rahul questioned Dharmasena after the umpire backed Joe Root
KL Rahul questioned Dharmasena whether the official just wanted to see the Indian team bat and bowl without showing any on-field aggression. However, Dharmasena backed Joe Root, and said that the bowler shouldn't get that close and exchange words.
KL Rahul supported his teammate Prasidh. However, the chat ended when Dharmasena criticized Rahul for his tone, saying there would be 'discussion' about it once the match ended.
