— Venkatesh Prasad (@venkateshprasad)Responding to a fan's query on social media about this iconic dismissal, the former Indian fast bowler, known for his wit, quipped, "Indira Nagar ka goonda moment," referencing a phrase coined by his ex-teammate Rahul Dravid in a commercial.
Expressing his hopes for Team India in the upcoming year, Prasad shared on X (formerly Twitter) that 2023 was a year filled with "What could have been" for Rohit Sharma's side.
