Prasidh Krishna channels aggression through bowling discipline, not demeanour
Prasidh Krishna said his aggression comes through bowling intensity and discipline, not on-field demeanour, after taking 3-47 on Day 3 of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo. India's tall pacer used the short ball to dismiss Kamil Mishara and Kamindu Mendis, cementing his role as a dependable strike bowler. Captain Shubman Gill called this the best version of Krishna.
Krishna credited pitch conditions and a sharp slip cordon for his success. He credited Yashasvi Jaiswal for an exceptional catch on Lahiru Udara's dismissal. The right-armer has recovered from a serious back injury that required surgery and now stands fitter, using his 6ft 4in height to extract awkward bounce. He trained under Jeff Thomson in Australia in 2016 and later at the MRF Pace Foundation under Glenn McGrath. Rain halted play on Day 3.
The Test series continues at SSC Colombo, with India leading the two-match series 1-0.
