IND vs. Eng 5th Test: Drop and punished: How many runs did Harry Brook score after Mohammad Sirj’s Miss? , Cricket news
In a decisive moment on 4 on the day of fifth and final test, India’s Paer Prasad Krishna was red-eased by his team partner Mohammad Sirraj after a misunderstanding, the cost of India’s important run. During the 35th over of England’s chase, Harry Brook gave Prasad a bridge shot and the ball became high in the air. Siraj, posted in the long leg, caught the catch cleanly, which led to an immediate celebration from Prasad. However, Prasad had ignored an important detail: while completing the catch, Siraj stepped back and touched Seema Cushion with his leg. This meant that the ball had gone for six, not the wicket.
The moment of the festival quickly turned into despair as Prasad realized whether it was transpailed. Brooke, aware of the situation, returned to the crease in peace as Prasad and Siraj looked disappointed. The error not only denied India of a significant success, but also gave six additional runs to Brook. He was at 19 at that time and batted aggressively, eventually reached 111 of the match size off just 98 balls. His knock, with 14 fours and two sixes, bowed the heavy balance in England’s favor. The irony is that Brook eventually rejected the sky deep, no one other than Siraj himself. The wicket came when Brook tried to get out and slapped a little small ball through off-side, only cut it into the air. His bat flew from the leg, while the ball landed safely in Sirj’s hands. Brook left for a permanent ovation, leaving India under scoreboard pressure.
