Cricket News- Prasidh Krishna wants to be a hit-the-deck bowler

 

Prasdh Krishna had a dream debut for India where he bounced back brilliantly after having a poor show in the first spell. However, he returned with figures of 4/54 in 8.1 overs and became the best by an Indian on debut alongside Shardul Thakur’s three scalps and Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s two wickets in India’s 66-run win over England.

However, after that, he said that he would like to be known as a “hit-the-deck” bowler who can break partnerships whenever needed as well.

“It didn’t start off well, and they came hard at us because we bowled poorly, but we had belief. We picked wickets in a cluster and that helped us a lot,” Krishna said after the match. “I understood after my third over, I can’t bowl full, and then I hit good length areas, and let the ball do the rest.”

Krishna came in the team after having a good Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign for Karnataka, claiming 14 wickets in seven matches at an average of 24.5 as well. In the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL), he plays for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and he is grateful for that experience which helped him do well.

“IPL has helped me, but it’s important in a 10-over format it’s more important to come back. I’d like to be known as a hit-the-deck bowler, and I’m trying to get the length more consistently. I’m going to go back to the drawing board and improve upon it. I hope I can be the partnership breaker for long, because the team needed it at the time, so I was happy to do it,” he concluded.

India started their three-match One Day International series with a stunning win. While they need another win to clinch the series against England, the visitors need one win to level the series as well. They will again take on each other on March 26 in Pune.

IPL 2021: CSK full squad details

Image
  Chennai Super Kings had a lot to do in the auction for IPL 2021 . They had a forgettable tournament last year. For the first time in the history of Indian Premier League, MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings ended the tournament at the 7th position. In the IPL auction, therefore, they had to buy some key players for a strong comeback. It was interesting to see Chennai Super Kings going for Cheteshwar Pujara. Not a lot would have thought of Pujara making it to an IPL side. While they went for some base price buys, they stacked up two players for a total of 16.25 crore. The challenge for Chennai Super Kings was to get some effective and young players on board to strengthen the core balance. K Gowtham and Moeen Ali can serve them as the all-rounders. However, they were in need of a back-up opener. Chennai Super Kings Retained Players: MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, KM Asif, Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, N Jagadeesan, Karn Sharma, Lungi Ngidi, M...

Amit Mishra shares his thoughts on spin bowling

Image
  India has produced a good number of quality spinners throughout the year but there are very few wrist spinners available and Amit Mishra is one of them. He feels that wrist spin is a difficult craft that can only be mastered with hours of honing the skill sets and also a leader who backs the player in difficult moments of the game. “Any leg-spinner needs a good captain because when the bowler is under attack, you need that sort of a skipper, who would back you to the hilt and give you that requisite confidence even when you have gone for a few runs,” Mishra told PTI in an exclusive interview. “A captain who basically understands the psyche of a leg-spinner.” Amit Mishra, who will be seen in action for Delhi Capitals this IPL season in India, has played 68 games across formats for India and one of the successful bowlers in IPL too. Meanwhile, in India barring Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav and Rahul Chahar, there aren’t many quality leg-break bowlers available too as well. ...

  Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli is excited to have Glenn Maxwell in his squad in the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they have started their hunt for the much-awaited IPL title against Chennai Super Kings on April 9. RCB gave a whopping Rs 14.25 crore for Maxwell, who was released by Punjab Kings earlier the mini-auction in Chennai in February this year. The Australian big-hitting all-rounder has a very poor record in the IPL but he was still in demand at the mini-auction in February. However, even before the auction, Maxwell had shared his desire to play for RCB under Kohli as well, and he was also keen on having Maxwell in his squad. "We wanted Maxi, specifically targeted him at the auction in February. You obviously feel great when things end up happening to where you thought they would. Zamps sent me that picture of them (Zampa and Maxwell) at a practice session handing over the RCB cap even before the auction happened. Zamps a very fun...
