England batter Joe Root has proposed a rule for ball changes during a match as he took a sly dig at Team India amid the Dukes ball controversy. Meanwhile, Sunil Gavaskar has criticised the poor quality of the balls.

Joe Root has suggested a solution for the frequent ball change issue in the ongoing series between England and India. There were frequent ball changes during Day 2 of the Lord's Test, which saw Shubman Gill have an animated chat with the umpires.

Joe Root didn't mince his words as he addressed the ball change row, saying teams need to stop complaining and get on with it.

Root anchored the innings with a composed 104 off 199 balls -- his 37th Test century -- while No 9 Brydon Carse (56) and keeper-batter Jamie Smith (51) staged a crucial lower-order fightback as the last three England partnership was worth 84 runs.

India had raised concerns after the second new ball was replaced just 10.3 overs into its use. Jasprit Bumrah had taken three wickets in his first 14 deliveries with the original ball, but India failed to take any more wickets during the session,

Apart from cricket, brand endorsements and franchise leagues have significantly contributed to Joe Root's financial success.
