Cricket Drama! India Pacer Trolled After Costly Over vs England!

Prasidh Krishna Under Fire After Edgbaston Over

India's Prasidh Krishna is facing heavy criticism after conceding 23 runs in a single over against England at Edgbaston. The incident occurred on Day 3 of the match, where England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith took a particular liking to Krishna's bowling, smashing four boundaries and a six.

The over proved costly for India, who had earlier gained an advantage with Mohammed Siraj dismissing Joe Root and Ben Stokes in quick succession. However, Krishna's expensive over allowed England to regain momentum.

What Happened?

Krishna's strategy of bowling short with a leg-side field backfired, allowing Smith to capitalize on the loose deliveries. Cricket fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with some jokingly suggesting Krishna should join the 'Dinda Academy' – a reference to another Indian bowler often associated with expensive overs.

Despite the setback, England's counter-attack, led by Smith and Harry Brook, has put them in a strong position. At the time of reporting, England were 176 for five, with Smith on 59* and Brook on 62*. Their partnership has already exceeded 100 runs and poses a significant threat to India's chances.

India's Perspective

India will be desperate to break the Smith-Brook partnership and regain control of the match. Earlier in the innings, India posted a formidable 587, thanks to a brilliant 269 from captain Shubman Gill. Gill has been in excellent form throughout the series, including a century in the first Test at Headingley.

Gill will be hoping to lead his team to victory and level the series, but they need to tighten their bowling attack and prevent England from building a substantial lead. The pressure is on Krishna to bounce back from this disappointing performance and contribute positively in the remaining innings.
