Day 2 of the 5th Test between India and England at The Oval saw a tense moment not just between players, but also between India’s KL Rahul and umpire Kumar Dharmasena, following a verbal exchange between Prasidh Krishna and Joe Root.
The drama began when Prasidh Krishna appeared to chirp at Root after delivering a ball during a charged-up over. Root, unfazed, responded with a boundary on the next delivery and had a few words for Krishna in return. As the situation escalated slightly, KL Rahul, India’s stand-in senior figure on the field, was seen intervening to calm things down.
However, it didn’t end there. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena appeared to warn the Indian team about on-field behavior, prompting a visible response from Rahul. According to stump mic recordings, KL Rahul questioned the umpire, saying: “What do you want us to do? Be quiet?”
Dharmasena responded firmly, “You would like any bowler come and walk to you? No, you can’t do that. No Rahul, we should not go on that way.” The exchange didn’t stop there. Rahul pressed again, “What do you want us to do? Just bat and ball and go home?” To which Dharmasena replied, “We will discuss at the end of the match. You can’t talk like that.”
Both Rahul and Dharmasena have reputations for being composed on the field, but this rare flash of tension added an unexpected layer of drama to the day’s play.
