Captain Shubman Gill’s witty remark about pacers Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj, picked up by the stump mic on day 5 of the ongoing first Test between India and England at Headingley in Leeds, has now gone viral across social media platforms.

During the 17th over of England’s second innings, Prasidh delivered a sharp delivery that beat Ben Duckett outside the off stump. In the background, stump microphones picked up Gill’s animated cry: `Ek taraf se Mohammed hai, ek taraf se Krishna, dono bhagwan...`, translating to `On one side there is Mohammed, on the other, Krishna...both Gods`. The quip was a clever wordplay on the names of Indian pacers Siraj and Krishna, referencing religious figures from Islam and Hinduism.
