Aakash Chopra, a former cricketer for India, was awestruck by bowler Prasidh Krishna outstanding performance against Ireland in his first T20 International. Notably, the India side, captained by Jasprit Bumrah, won the first game by two runs (DLS method), grabbing a 1-0 series lead.
The Irish team was limited to a meager 139 runs while batting first thanks to two wickets each from Prasidh Krishna, Bumrah, and spinner Ravi Bishnoi. In his debut T20I game, Prasidh received high accolades from cricketer-turned-broadcaster Chopra for his excellent bowling performance. Considering his razor-sharp line and length, he continued, the pacemaker would be most suited for the longer events.
Two players received their first T20 cap: Rinku Singh and Prasidh Krishna. Prasidh’s lack of a debut up to this point surprised certain people. Prasidh was the second good narrative after (Jasprit) Bumrah, according to Chopra’s YouTube channel.
Usually, Prasidh Krishna strikes me as not being a T20 bowler. He is a bowler with good line and length who will do well in ODIs and Tests, but even for T20s, he has pace, the correct fundamentals, and a fast yorker; the slower one isn’t that good, but he can bowl that,” he said.
In addition, Chopra discussed Prasidh Krishna strength of being able to extract bounce given his height, which serves him well.
What occurs when there is more bounce and high-arm action? The height at which the ball is released determines how high it will bounce. Because Prasidh is tall and swings with a high arm, it has the advantage that the ball hits the sticker on the upper area of the bat.
On the other hand, newcomer Rinku Singh was unable to use the rain-affected game as an occasion to showcase his batting prowess. On Sunday, August 20, the second T20I will be contested at the Malahide Cricket Club in Dublin, and Rinku will try to capitalize on the opportunity.
