The second-highest run-getter in Test cricket history, Joe Root, is known for his calm personality, and he rarely loses his cool on the field.
Root usually focuses on his business and doesn't get involved in any banters on the field. Even when some bowlers try to sledge Root, the Englishman ensures he responds with his bat rather than words.
However, a different version of Root was seen during his verbal spats with India pacer Prasidh Krishna during the series finale of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025.
It all started during the 22nd over of England's innings on Day 2. On the 5th ball of the over, Prasidh Krishna bowled a good length beauty just outside off-stump to Root, who hung back to defend, and the ball moved away slightly to beat the outside edge.
Krishna was seen saying some things to Root in his follow-through, and the England batter didn't back down as he charged towards the pacer and passed on some comments.
Then, on the sixth and final ball of the over, Root hit a length delivery from Prasidh Krishna through gully for a four.
Just after that, Joe Root and Prasidh Krishna were seen engaging in yet another heated verbal spat. Root was totally fired up and looked very miffed while saying some things to the Indian pacer.
Umpire Kumar Dharmasena had to intervene, and he was seen giving a bashing to Prasidh Krishna. Even ahead of Krishna's next over, Dharmasena was seen scolding the pacer, but that didn't stop him from exchanging death stares with the English batter.
