This Has Happened To Somebody Like Jasprit Bumrah As Well – Sanjay Bangar Backs Prasidh Krishna To Come Good

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Bangar has expressed the opinion that Indian pace bowler Prasidh Krishna is not the only one who had a shaky start to his Test career. On the second day of his debut, the Indian rookie struggled to make an impact on the team. He conceded 61 runs in 15 overs at an economy rate of 4.06 while taking the wicket of wicketkeeper-batsman Kyle Veraine.

It was a difficult day for Centurion’s Prasidh Krishna as he lost runs and struggled to maintain consistency with his line and length. However, he managed to bounce the delivery a much shorter distance than Veraine expected. Both Prasidh and Thakur played with ease despite some erratic bowling throughout the day.

Sanjay Bangar of Star Sports compares Prasidh Krishna’s Test debut with Jasprit Bumrah’s Test debut and says even Bumrah was held back for runs in his debut against South Africa in Cape Town in 2018. , explained that despite being a former South African, he conceded 73 runs in 19 overs. Captain AB de Villiers took the only wicket.

Prashid Krishna struggled in the first two overs, conceding as many as 10 boundaries in the first 10 overs. However, his time after the lunch break proved crucial as South Africa, who were 49-1 at the start of the session, gained momentum. By the end of the day, South Africa were in control of the game at 255 for 2, with Dean Elgar and debutant David Bedingham combining to score 131 runs for the fourth wicket.
