Cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra compared Joe Root's batting stance with that of the character Guran from Aamir Khan-starrer 'Lagaan'. Reacting to the comparison, an X user wrote, "Root is trying to play towards the offside, while our legend is aiming for leg side." "Both got out cheaply," another user wrote. Root was dismissed for 18 runs in the ongoing third Test.
