But Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who returned to the side after being rested for the second match, had other plans. The pacer sent back Stokes with a beauty in the third over of the day to end his stubborn 110-ball stay at the crease.
And Mohammed Siraj was pumped up as he came into bowl the next over from the other end with Root looking comfortable. Just as the pacer was about to start his run-up for the fourth ball of the 87th over, the centurion was irked by a movement near the sight screen.
He delayed proceedings, asking the viewer to move away from his eye line as Siraj presented a frustrated look. And just as Siraj started his run-up after the delay, Root stopped the action again to remove something that flew onto the pitch.
This time, Siraj was not going to walk back quietly to his run-up as he desperately walked in towards the batter. The Gujarat Titans pacer mocked Root, asking whether everything was okay or if he wanted more time to get ready.
Twitter was in splits as Siraj walked back to his bowling mark after tickling their funny bone.

Joe Root :
It'll cost
Bumrah takes out Root and Stokes and Siraj almost got Jamie smith. I hope dropped catches don’t cost us much.
