So you are going to compare a newbie with season campaigner who is former number 1 odi bowler also was player of tournament in icc event and recently has 10 wicket haul in test match .Do you know last 10 wicket haul in test for india fast bowler was in 2018 .it should be considered achievement since india is producing better fast bowlers in test format

I have enjoyed prasidh bowling today he seems to be better then the likes of saini ,chahal ,khaleel .Let him take 50 international wicket then we can see where both stands

The biggest reason for lack of 10-fers is that indian pacers and spinners are so good its difficult for same bowler to dominate in both innings. Even if say Bumrah takes 5-fer in first innings, Shami or Ashwin will take in second innings before Bumrah and wickets are shared. So you will often see wickets divided into 7-8 wickets per four bowlers in the team with different bowlers taking 5-fers every innings (or even 3-fers or 4-fers)

Spinners are taking 10-fers as on spinning pitches, 2 spinners can share wickets. But we have 3-4 pacers at any time plus 2 quality spinners so likelihood of one pacer dominating is lesser.

Its a problem with having many quality bowlers instead of one in the team

But could he replace one of India's mainstay ODI bowlers (ie. Bumrah, Shami, Bhuvneshar)?

Or is he just a rotational player for now, to improve the bench strength?

Shami is definitely not a mainstay ODI bowler for us. He has zero control at death
 
Nearly 100 domestic matches under his belt before he made his international debut.

Always helps to have such experience behind you.

I didn't watch the game at all, but is this guy genuinely a good prospect or is he like another Deepak Chahar?

I dont think Deepak Chahar is an ODI bowler let alone a Test bowler, but I will say this - In T20s, when 8 or 10 runs need to defended off the last over when your opposition is batting aggressively, my go-to will be either Chahar or Shardul - they are probably more experienced (& skillful) in these situations than even Bumrah

It's insult to great aus bowling lineup of 2000 or SA of 2010s about taking 10 fer either they were not as good the current india bowling or your logic is extremely flawed

Wawoo. So you bowl chahar or shardul in a must win super over ahead of Bhumrah?
 
Thanos said:
Bumrah has unique bowling action, Shami got best wrist or seam position and Bhuvi swings the ball beautifully with good control. Didn't see anything like that in Prasidh Krishna's bowling, but he has good action and was getting bounce from good length. I think he can be good partner to these 3 bowlers.
And we never know under Bharat Arun's coaching, Prasiddh may perform well in future.

True. But I think with what people are saying, he's not a bad option in case one of Bumrah/Shami/Bhuvneshwar gets injured.

I disagree. Deepak Chahar is a new ball bowler, and he's there to bowl in the powerplay and take wickets. Bumrah is a death over specialist, and probably the best in the world at the moment.

Chahar is not a death over specialist, and though we may have seen him demonstrate some control in the death overs, the sample size is too small.

Bumrah on the other hand is a better option for the death overs.

I've always thought that Chahar and Bhuvneshwar are quite similar, but I think Bhuvneshwar has a better skillset to offer right now. The only concern with Bhuvneshwar is injuries.

I already said Hassan Ali is ahead at the moment and Prasidh is a rookie. I am talking about similar type of bowlers.

Hasan ali is not just ahead but miles ahead .he has already 150+ international wickets .Let's see if prasidh can even cross 50 wicket when novelty factor rears off or major injury

Local.Dada said:
Ali is good and may be better than Prasidh at the moment, in fact it is a complaint to him that I am comparing Prasidh with an established bowler like him. I am not insulting Hassan Ali.
Click to expand...

There is no comparison at all .one is tall while other is short .Hasan ali is also better batsmen

Yeah I don't see the comparison with Ali tbh. Hasan is a skiddy bowler like Shami. And like Shami, Hasan Ali's usp is reverse swing, and also conventional swing to an extent.

Prasidh is a tall hit the deck seam bowler like Hazlewood or Morkel. Haven't seen him swing the ball a great deal, but he's quick and his usp is the lift he generates after pitching due to his high arm action. Two different kinds of bowlers.

Funny because in the entire decade of 2000s (From 1 jan 2000 to 1 Jan 2011), only 4 times did Aussie fast bowlers take a 10-fer. Only two bowlers, McGrath and Johnson took these 4 10-fers. So 4 10-fers by 2 Aussie fast bowlers in 11 years

https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...al1=span;team=2;template=results;type=bowling

Meanwhile Aussie spinners took 9 10-fers in the same period, with even one off wonders like Krejza, Miller and Mcgill taking 10-fers

Mavi and Nagarkoti seems to have regressed a bit especially due to injuries. Not too sure about Khaleel. Natrajan is a LOI standard bowler.

Prasidh seems to be a proper test standard bowler.

Wasn't this guy Basil Thampi doing well in the IPL last year. He has a bowling average of 29 in FC cricket so not to sure.
 
Prasidh krishna Vs Navdeep Saini Who should be picked for icc t20 worldcup?

I would prefer Prasidh over Saini .He seems better to me
 
Last edited:
In my opinion, Prasidh is a much better prospect than Saini.

Only the speed gun nuts would prefer Saini.

Both are not required.
We have good bowling lineup for T20 WC.
Bumrah
Bhuvi
Nattu
Washi
 
Both will not play. They are way below the pecking order.

Bumrah, Jaddu, Washington, BKumar, Hardik will be picked for sure.
 
Hopefully he's not picked for T20s . He's not suited for the format and If he gets tonked around never know they may ignore him for tests which is what he should be playing

This.

I could care less if he isn't picked for either the T20 or ODI squad, but I can definitely see him being a test starter a few years down the line.
 
What an overrated bowler. Not impressed at all. I know he picked up 4 wickets in the first game but he was lucky England decided to self-destruct for no good reason. Maybe I'll be proven wrong and he will improve in time but when I look at him I just see another spray gun who can easily be taken apart at will.

India have vastly superior fast-bowlers in their side.

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes new fast bowling sensation Prasidh Krishna can serve India well in Test cricket with his "pace and seam position" and should be considered for the longest format just like Jasprit Bumrah was in 2018.

The 25-year-old from Karnataka made a sensational debut in international career when he claimed four wickets in the first ODI against England. Prasidh then struck twice in the 37th over in the second game against England, which included an unplayable yorker to get rid of Jos Buttler.

"I tell you what, with those seam up deliveries, he is someone that the Indian selection committee must consider seriously for red ball (Tests) as well," Gavaskar said during his TV commentary on Friday.

"Just like Jasprit Bumrah, from T20s and ODIs, has now become India's premium bowler in the Test format, Prasidh Krishna with his pace and the seam-up position could be a very, very good red ball bowler as well."

Prasidh has taken 34 wickets in nine first class games so far, besides claiming 87 wickets in 50 List A games.

The three-game ODI series will be decided on Sunday when India and England clashes in the final game in Pune.

"Have Been Putting In The Hard Yards": Prasidh Krishna Reacts To His Match-Winning Performance vs West Indies In 2nd ODI

India pacer Prasidh Krishna on Wednesday said that receiving a compliment from skipper Rohit Sharma after taking a four-wicket haul was quite flattering.

India pacer Prasidh Krishna on Wednesday said that receiving a compliment from skipper Rohit Sharma after taking a four-wicket haul was quite flattering. India registered a 44-run win in the second ODI to gain an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Prasidh Krishna's four-wicket haul helped India defend 237 and defeat West Indies by 44 runs in the second ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. After the game, Rohit at the post-match presentation praised Prasidh, saying the pacer's spell was the best he has seen in India for a very long time.

"Rohit's praise is quite flattering for me, he has been playing cricket for a long time, the comment coming from him, I am personally very happy. I have been putting in the hard yards, I am glad it happened today," said Prasidh while replying to an ANI query during a virtual press conference.

Talking further about his own game, Prasidh said: "It has been almost one year since I made my debut for India. I have been striving to get more consistent since then. When I started off, I was more excited. We have had our plans, very clear on what I wanted to work on and I am glad it came out well today."

"As a cricketer, you want to be playing whenever the opportunity presents itself. Rohit and I had discussions before the match as well, there was nothing specific advice from him. As I said, we have been working on consistency within the team. We have good bowlers in the team and we are helping out each other," he added.

Earlier, Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul might have played knocks of 64 and 49 but the hosts kept on losing wickets at regular intervals, and in the end, West Indies restricted India to 237/9 in the allotted fifty overs. For the West Indies, Alzarri Joseph and Odean Smith scalped two wickets each.

"I think the timing of Suryakumar Yadav's innings was crucial as we had lost early wickets and credit to the West Indies bowlers, they were bowling on good line and length. Surya's innings was very important. The initial plan was to keep it tight and put pressure on the batters. It was about reacting to the situation. Credit goes to everybody," he added.

The final ODI will be played on Friday at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

He was impressive against West Indies. But, West Indies is exactly not a strong opponent in ODI format.

His real test should be against teams like Pakistan, Australia, England etc.
 
The guys has height and swing with decent pace, looks like made for test cricket.Will be interesting bro see.
 
Prasidh Krishna conceded 68 runs in 4 overs against Australia in the 3rd T20I, making it the 5th most expensive spell in T20I cricket.

Prasidh Krishna certainly a "x factor guy" that can let the opposition win from any situation.

Regards
Dinda academy
 
If i am not wrong, Prasidh was from the batch of Mavi, Nagarkoti and Saini from around 2019 or so.

But India's recent record of developing players has been pretty good. So they will probably come around some time.

For some reason, they havent really taken the stage in international cricket.
 
Thankful to Maxwell he just destroyed Prasidh Krishna t20 career Prasidh Krishna shouldn't be anywhere near in t20 side
 
Prasidh Krishna's performance in the India vs Australia T20I series proving costly so far.

I don't think he is as poor a bowler as he appears to be at the moment.

He is a poor bowler with no place in t20s. Part of the esteemed Dinda bowling academy!
His ipl record is horrible and iirc twice he failed to defend 16+ runs in the last over in ipl. No place in t20s. No variations or thought process or game awareness..dont remember even one match winning performance of his..
 
Prasidh is a good red ball and odi bowler. He has been poor in t20s. Even in ipl iirc.
 
Overrated and another bottler who cannot even defend 21 runs. Although Maxwell was in some form but still you gotta defend such scores. Should be replaced with Mukesh Kumar.
 
India's skipper, Rohit Sharma, spoke to the media on the eve of the first Test match against South Africa. In the pre-match press conference, he discussed Prasidh Krishna:

"Prasidh (Krishna) extracts a lot of bounce due to his height and Mukesh can swing the ball. We were suppose to have a look at pitch today and decide whether we want someone to bowl up or back. We have 75 percent decided and rest 25 percent we would tomorrow."
 
Love watching him bowl. A throwback Indian lulloo bowler from the 90’s.

India producing good pacers doesn’t sit well. It is against the DNA of Indian cricket. After all, they are the least talented fast bowling nation ever and always will be.

A nations , which self claimed of Fast bowling factory haven't produced any bowler who can takes 200 test wickets after Waqar Younis.

Really Embarrassing .

Last Pakistan bowler who have taken 200 test wickets debuted in 1989. 35 year gone But sarr Pakistan is fast bowling nations factory. LMAO

:kp
 
Until Bumrah, who has to run away like a coward after 1 Test because his weak body cannot hold up, the best Indian pacers of all time were not good enough to carry drinks and towels for an all-time C XI.

That is the legacy of Indian fast bowling and bowlers like Krishna are the flag-bearers of this legacy.
