'He's Doing The Best He Can': Manjrekar Backs Prasidh's Selection In Playing XI
Last Updated: Prasidh was preferred over Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh in India's playing XI for the ongoing first Test of the five-match series against England. Former Indian batter Sanjay Manjrekar on Sunday (June 22) backed Indian team management's decision to include Prasidh Krishna in the playing XI for the ongoing first Test against England in Leeds. According to Manjrekar, who has now donned the hat of an expert and commentator, Krishna is India's No. 2 seamer, and he is bowling better than Mohammed Siraj. He feels the Karnataka-based fast bowler is doing the best he can, and if he manages to get a couple of wickets, then it will help him build confidence, and he might get better. 'If you see Prasidh Krishna in this Test match as opposed to the Test he played for India earlier in South Africa, he's looked the best to me. Yesterday (Saturday, June 21), although he didn't quite get the wickets, he was still India's number two seamer. He was better than Mohammed Siraj, certainly more potent than Shardul Thakur. So, India made the right choice and went for him; this is Prasidh Krishna doing the best he can. With time, if he gets a couple of wickets and builds confidence, he might just get better and better. I will not be critical of Prasidh Krishna with the way he's bowled—he has done everything he possibly could to the best of his ability," Manjrekar said on 'Match Centre Live' after the first session on Day 3. After failing to take any wicket for India on Day 2 of the Leeds Test, Prasidh helped India get off to a flying start on Day 3, as on the first ball of his second over of the day, he dismissed Ollie Pope. The right-handed batter was caught behind by Rishabh Pant after making 106 runs from 137 balls with the help of 14 fours. Krishna, who last played a Test match for India against Australia in Sydney from January 3-5, 2025, managed to retain his place in the red-ball squad for the England tour by producing a super show for the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. He played 15 matches for the Shubman Gill-led side in IPL this year and picked up 25 wickets, which was the most by any bowler. First Published: June 22, 2025, 19:46 IST

Did Pant Play A Quirky Part In Ben Stokes' Dismissal? Stump Mic Audio Goes Viral
Last Updated: Rishabh Pant's chatter behind the stumps played a part in Ben Stokes' dismissal in England's second innings. India's Test vice-captain Rishabh Pant was at his very best yet again behind the stumps, not just with his gloves but also with his chatter, as a viral stump mic audio indicates that he might have played a part in England skipper Ben Stokes' dismissal in England's first innings. Having come in to bat at 225/4 in the 52nd over, Stokes added 51 runs for the fifth wicket with Harry Brook before Mohammed Siraj got the better of him. Stokes had hit three boundaries during his 52-ball stay in the middle, but couldn't get set, and he was dismissed in no time. While Siraj takes the credit, Pant deserves some of it too, besides taking the catch. After the fourth ball of the 64th over from Ravindra Jadeja that Stokes let go, Pant was heard saying, 'Sensible Stokesy", but that didn't draw any reaction from the England skipper. Four deliveries later, he was caught behind. Watch the video here: Meanwhile, the visitors got two welcome wickets of overnight centurion Ollie Pope (106 off 137) and England skipper Stokes (20 off 52). Like day two, the other Indian pacers couldn't match the accuracy of ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Harry Brook, dismissed off a Bumrah no-ball at the stroke of stumps on day two, was dropped by Pant on 46 before lunch. Jadeja, who was able to extract a sharp turn from the rough, got one to turn away, but Pant couldn't hold on to the rising delivery. In the same over, Brook completed his 12th Test half-century, adding to the frustration of the Indians, who have been sloppy with their catching till now in the match. Led by skipper Shubman Gill, the Indians were very vocal about their problems with a worn-out Dukes ball throughout the session. The umpires relented before the 75th over, while the new ball will be due after 80 overs.
