Why so many opportunities for the famous Krishna? (PC-PTI)
IND vs SA: India's fast bowler Prasidh Krishna is in the headlines because of his poor bowling against South Africa. After Ranchi, they were beaten in Raipur ODI also and as a result Team India lost the second match. The question is that despite so much beating, why the famous Krishna remains the apple of Team India's eyes?, After all, why are they being given opportunities on occasion despite having very poor economy rates in Test, T20 and ODI? Let us tell you some special reasons behind this.
famous krishna Is seen as an investment for the World Cup 2027. Actually, the next World Cup will be played in South Africa where the pitches are bouncy. Prasidh Krishna is a hit the deck bowler, meaning he hits the ball on the pitch and similar bowlers are needed for South African soil. It is possible that Team India is preparing him for the future by giving him maximum opportunities from now on.
India does not have many bowlers like Prasidh Krishna. Swing and seam bowlers are usually available in India but Prasidh Krishna generates pace and extra bounce with his good height. Due to this, the batsmen face difficulty in playing shots and the chances of taking wickets increase. Although this type of bowling does not leave much of an impact on Indian pitches, it can do wonders in South Africa.
In 148 years of Test cricket, Prasidh Krishna holds the worst economy rate ever for anyone who bowled 500+ balls. And then you pick him in ODIs honestly, this outcome was kind of written on the wall. pic.twitter.com/pGmXwa2xzS
