Team India Fast Bowler Prasidh Krishna had a difficult outing on the third day of his second Test match against England at Edgbaston, as he struggled to find the rhythm and the leaked run. Icelandic cricket, known for his sarcasmy posts on social media, brutally trolled Indian pacers following his expensive spells.
England found out that Mohammed Siraj had fallen into early trouble on the third day after removing Stokes with Joe Root and Buck’s delivery after the second morning. However, Jamie Smith turned his momentum with an offensive counterattack that targeted Prashid Krishna in particular.
Smith hammered the pacers at four boundaries and hit six in 32 times. Placid finished with eight overs, 61 runs and wicket numbers before lunch break at Ed Baston, Birmingham on Friday, July 4th.

Harry Brook and Jamie Smith add 303 to the sixth wicket to frustrate Indian bowlers
England staged an astonishing fight back on the third day of the Edgbaston Test. Harry Brook and Jamie Smith shared a massive 303 run stand for the sixth wicket. They fought back to ease the pressure and irritate the Indian bowlers.
Both batters reached centuries during the partnership, steadily closing the gaps, preventing India from enforcing follow-on. Brooke was rejected for 158 by Akash Deep with the second new ball, causing a collapse.
England lost the final five wickets by just 20 runs, bowled out at 407, and Mohammed Shiraj finished as an outstanding performer, taking six at 70.
Icelandic cricket trolls Prashid Krishna over expensive bowling figures
Icelandic cricket odd Prashid Krishna on social media due to his expensive bowling performance. They said Pracid’s economic rate is even more expensive than the cost of living in Iceland.
“People say it’s expensive in Iceland, have you ever seen the economic rate of Prasidi Krishna?” Icelandic Cricket wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Krishna’s inconsistency with his line and length was a major concern on this tour. He was unable to put pressure on the batter, making it difficult for India to apply pressure from both ends, weakening the overall bowling effectiveness.
Prasidh Krishna created unwanted records in Eng vs Ind 2025 1st Test
Pracido made an unforgettable outing in the opening test against England at Headingley. That’s where his bowling was expensive. He picked up three wickets in the first innings, but admitted 128 runs from just 20 overs on an economic rate of 6.40.
It was the worst by Indians in Test history due to spells over 20 over. He struggled again in four innings, returning a 0/92 number in 15 overs with an economic rate of 6.10.
England has exploited momentum and is the 10th best overall, one of the most successful run chases in Test cricket history. The Ben Stokes-led team handed India a disrupted defeat to start the series.
