Prasidh Krishna explains how domestic and IPL experience helped him get noticed

 


Virat Kohli last year had spoken about Prasidh Krishna’s requirement in the side for the T20 World Cup which did not happen for the pandemic. Now Krishna is a part of India squad for England ODI series.

When Kohli praised Krishna

Prasidh Krishna has been a familiar name since last few domestic seasons. Thanks to his brilliant track record which has made him topic of discussion for number of times. Even Kohli had spoken about Krishna and revealed that India had him in their T20 World Cup 2020 plan in Australia. "I think one guy will be a surprise package going to Australia (for 2020 T20 World Cup which didn't happen due to Covid-19). Someone who can bowl with pace and has bounce. Prasidh has done well in the domestic arena. It is a great luxury to have this group of bowlers in all formats. Looking at the World Cup, we have enough options."

Now Krishna has made it to India squad for India’s next ODI assignment against England. Recalling Kohli’s words, Krishna said, "Kohli saying this gave me a lot of confidence. For me, someone like the captain of the Indian cricket team talking about you or mentioning your name means that you work a little harder and you might get called up and it has happened. I think it did boost my confidence -- the way I trained and my motivation level."

Krishna on his experience so far

In the interaction with the Times of India, he also spoke about domestic and IPL performances that helped him get the recognition. "It has been a combination of both IPL and domestic cricket performances. At the domestic level Karnataka have been doing really well over the last few years. As a team, once you start winning tournaments and playing big games, many of your players start to get recognised. I think I am blessed being part of the Karnataka side."

He continued, "Even at Kolkata Knight Riders, in terms of the platform they have given me and the exposure I have had, with so many other stars around -- nothing can beat that. When you play IPL, the first things are that you have to perform in pressure situations against international stars and in front of around 60,000 people. Second thing is that you rub shoulders with the greats of the game. There is so much more to learn from them -- the way they handle themselves -- you try and stay composed no matter what the situation is. Your work ethic and so many other things improve."

Former KKR Spinner KC Kariappa applauds Gautam Gambhir

Image
  KC Kariappa, the little known spinner from Bengaluru made headlines in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2015 auctions after KKR bought him on the back of some fine performance in a zonal T20 league. He was 21-year old then. While his IPL career didn’t take off, he shared his experiences recently alongside his debut under the captain Gautam Gambhir and recalled the memories as well. “Gambhir was a very good captain. He was a little strict in terms of bowling discipline, and effort on the field was something he wouldn’t compromise,” Cariappa told Sportskeeda. “Outside the field, he didn’t bother you. On the field, you had to give your 100% and that’s what I loved.” Notably, Cariappa’s maiden wicket was none other than the legend AB de Villiers. However, later was replaced by Sunil Narine who soon came in the limelight with his stunning bowling. However, he revealed that he didn’t get too many chances in the IPL even when he had played for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). H...

Joe Root Says Continuity Within Team Is Tough To Maintain Due To Covid-19

  England captain Joe Root has backed his under-performing teammates and opened up on multiple factors behind it as well. He added that continuity is a hard thing to maintain amid the tough time of COVID-19 and bio-bubble also. However, England’s Test squad has always been criticized for their recent performances on several occasions. Earlier, England used to create trouble against any opposition but now they have lost the touch as well. And, the lack of continuity is the main reason behind it. Moreover, their batting unit has become inconsistent with their performance and Joe Root said that it’s something that is happening because of the pandemic in the world and praises the work ethics of his teammates amid this crunch time as well. “You see the guys put in the work time and time again. One thing you can never question about anyone in this team is their work ethic. I think everyone throws everything into their practice and does everything they can to make themselves better,...

  After scoring his maiden IPL hundred, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s young batsman Devdutt Padikkal said that he was keen to contribute for his team's win after he missed the first game of the ongoing league due to COVID-19. Padikkal had tested positive by the virus before the start of the IPL season but he returned in the second game against SunRisers Hyderabad. And, on Thursday evening, he scored an unbeaten 101 to help RCB register a registering 10-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium. "It's been special. I could only wait my turn. When I was down with COVID, all I was thinking of ways to come here and play the first match here. I couldn't do that but was keen to contribute to the team's win," Padikkal said at the post-match presentation. "The ball was coming on really well and we got a good start. When you get into a partnership like that, it helps as runs come from both ends." While chasing 178, Devdutt Padikkal and the...
