India tour of England 2025 | Twitter reacts as Joe Root and Zak Crawley involved in comical collision at boundary

It is comedy and chaos at the same time when fielders come together while going for the same ball and it was on display during the second England-India Test.
Joe Root and Zak Crawley ended up holding each other while going for the ball as the cherry sailed past both to the boundary at Edgbaston.
‌Starting the day at 310/5, Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja strengthened India’s position further in the first session of day two of the second Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Thursday. The pair added 203 runs for the sixth wicket as India went into lunch on a high at 419/6 despite losing Jadeja just before the break.With Washington Sundar supporting the Indian skipper, India looked on course to sail past the 500-run mark when a comical chaos entertained the home crowd after a session of domination by the visitors. Shubman Gill started accelerating the scoring in the second session with a six off spinner Shoaib Bashir before following it up with a boundary of the first ball of the next over bowled by Josh Tongue.

A ball later, Gill sent the pacer, who bowled one on the leg stump, towards the square leg fence. Joe Root and Zak Crawley, fielding at backward square leg and mid-wicket, respectively, started their chase in pursuit of the red cherry. But the ball beat them to the fence with the fielders coming together on their slide at the boundary cushion.

With Root looking uneasy after the collision, Crawley placed his hand on the veteran batter to check on him. Twitter was in splits as the duo recreated a bromance moment holding each other on the rope.
