1st Test: India Made Right Choice With Prasidh, Says Manjrekar
The Statesman Siliguri
|June 23, 2025
Though Prasidh Krishna is close to conceding 100 runs in the ongoing first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test, former batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes India's choice of making him play at Headingley was correct and suggested that the pacer will get better with time.
Playing just his third Test match, despite picking two wickets, Prasidh struggled to find the right lines and lengths, as he and other bowlers failed to provide ample support to fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in curbing England's scoring rate.
"If you see Prasidh Krishna in this Test match as opposed to the Test he played for India earlier in South Africa, he's looked the best to me. Yesterday, although he didn't quite get the wickets, he was still India's number two seamer. He was better than Mohammed Siraj, certainly more potent than Shardul Thakur."
