The war of words between former cricketers Venkatesh Prasad & Aakash Chopra is refusing to die down.

After Aakash Chopra implied that Venkatesh Prasad has an agenda against KL Rahul, the former Indian pacer hit back at Chopra.

Chopra, on his Youtube channel, had stated that Prasad was only using subjective stats of other players, ones that painted Rahul in a bad light in comparison.

Prasad responded to the former Indian opener's remarks on Twitter, calling his video vile. The 53-year-old pacer stated that Chopra conveniently and cleverly misquotes him, and wants to gag views that are not in line with what he believes.

Sharing a Twitter screenshot from 2012 where Chopra seems to be taking a dig at current captain Rohit Sharma, Prasad said 'the argument that we should not criticise a player in an ongoing match personally doesn’t make sense.'

Prasad also said that while he 'admires Aakash Chopra for his hardwork, calling a different viewpoint as agenda because it doesn’t suit his narrative is poor.'
