IND vs ENG: 'I'd give Prasidh Krishna games': R Ashwin back struggling pacer for 2nd Test
R Ashwin wants Prasidh Krishna to play in the 2nd Test as the visitors head to Edgbaston trailing 1-0 (Image by) Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has come out in support of fast bowler Prasidh Krishna , urging the Indian team management to give him more matches despite a difficult outing in the opening Test against England at Headingley. Krishna, who struggled for consistency and returned with an economy of over six across both innings, came under scrutiny after England pulled off a record 371-run chase to win the first match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. However, Ashwin feels the tall pacer still has a big role to play going forward. 'I would give Prasidh Krishna games, because when he got it right, he delivered lethal wicket-taking deliveries. I think Prasidh is one for the future. If Bumrah is not going to be playing all matches, he can step up to play that role,' Ashwin said on his YouTube channel. With Jasprit Bumrah's availability uncertain for the second Test at Edgbaston, India could be forced to rework their bowling attack. Ashwin believes Arshdeep Singh 's left-arm variation could be valuable, while also acknowledging Akash Deep's red-ball strength. Shubman Gill press conference: Playing XI almost final, time of Jasprit Bumrah call and more 'If we are playing a seamer in place of Bumrah, I would think of Arshdeep and bring a left-arm option. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Nevertheless, let us not forget what Akash Deep has done; he can bowl well with the red ball, while Arshdeep is not a proven commodity yet,' he added. Ashwin also weighed in on India's team balance and selection decisions, particularly around the fourth seamer and middle-order combinations. 'Only debatable topic is Karun Nair–Sai Sudharsan/Nitish Kumar Reddy. How many overs will the fourth seamer give? How good is Reddy's batting form? I know for a fact that the Indian team management rates Nitish Kumar Reddy very highly.' Poll Should Prasidh Krishna be given more chances in the Indian team? Yes, he has potential. No, he should be dropped for the 2nd Test India's bowling looked sharp only in patches during the first Test, with Bumrah carrying the bulk of the workload. As workload management looms large for him across the long series, eyes will be on how India rotates its pace unit ahead of the Edgbaston Test.

Prasidh Krishna hopes to improve after 1st Test let-down: My responsibility to get better
Prasidh Krishna's economy in the first Test against England at Headingley was a big talking point in the poorly performing Indian bowling attack. But the pacer has come out and admitted that while it may not have been his best performance, he remains committed to the cause and aims to do better in the rest of the the 35 overs bowled in the first Test, Prasidh finished with an economy rate of 6.2, which gave England momentum on a decent pitch to bat on. With the pressure of workload management of premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah, it is now on the other bowlers to step up their game and ensure that it is not a one-man show, as is the case with every high-performing bowling unit across was fairly criticised for not ensuring that he bowled at a slightly fuller length to take advantage of whatever the pitch provided. As a result, batters ended up going after him, resulting in 220 runs across both innings. "Every time I come into bowl, I'm definitely looking to bowl a maiden, and I'm not really trying to give away boundaries or anything. The outfield [at Headingley] was fast, the lengths, lines that I bowled were not perfect to be honest, most times, and they took me on. Some of them were edges, some of them I tried bowling bouncers, and I ended up giving runs," Prasidh admitted in an interaction with the talked about how he wanted to do something different against the England batters who were going at a fairly aggressive rate and providing an element of unpredictability, but he did clarify that going for runs is not a part of his plans by any I think somebody in the team had to do it, and if I sit back and say, 'I want to look at my numbers, what my economy is,' and not look at the wickets, it cost me a 4 and a 6, and then Jamie Smith got out, so if it means that I do that and get a wicket, I'm happy to do it, but every time I come on to the bowl, I am looking to keep the economy down and build the pressure up," he mentioned."I had a few conversations with a few of them about this game. I definitely would want to bring that [economy] down to whatever best I can do, and yeah, I think I'm learning as well, I can't say anything, it's up to me, it's my responsibility to get better, and that's what I'm trying, that's what I'm working on, and I just want to make sure I put in the right kind of work and come back here and put up better numbers," he the onus will be on the 29-year-old to get better in the second Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The Indian team is already on the backfoot, having lost the opening Test and would need to get the win to ensure they don't fall even further behind.- EndsMust Watch

I take complete responsibility, says Prasidh Krishna after leaking over 200 runs at Leeds
Birmingham: Beleaguered India seamer Prasidh Krishna has taken "complete responsibility" for his failure to hit the right lengths during a forgettable outing in the first Test against England, but said he was at all times trying to be parsimonious with his bowling. Prasidh has been slammed by few former players after he leaked more than 200 runs in the series-opener at Leeds, which India lost by five wickets. "If I look at the first innings, I was a little too short than where I wanted to be, 6-8 is ideal. Second innings it got slightly better, because again, the wicket was slightly slower. I had to pitch a few slightly behind 8, and go slightly fuller, when I am trying to get a wicket. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo "I definitely did not bowl the lengths that I wanted to. It took me some time to get used to the slope on that side. No reasons, but I should be able to do it as a professional. I take complete responsibility about it, and maybe, do it better next time," Prasidh said at a press conference. In the first innings, Prasidh gave away 128 runs in 20 overs at an economy of 6.40, one of the worst figures by an Indian bowler bowling a minimum of 20 overs in an innings. However, he got the wickets of Ollie Pope, Harry Brook, and Jamie Smith. Live Events In the second innings, Prasidh gave India hope with the wickets of Zak Crawley and Pope in quick succession but his economy rate was again above six (6.10), conceding 92 runs in 15 overs. "Every time I come out to bowl, I was definitely looking to bowl a maiden. I am not really trying to give away boundaries or anything. The outfield was fast. The lengths, lines that I bowled was not perfect, to be honest, at most times. And they took me on. Some of them were edges. "Some of them, I tried bowling bouncers. But I ended up giving runs. But definitely, every time I come out to bowl, I was looking to keep the economy rate down and build the pressure up," Prasidh said. The wind factor and rain Wind was another big factor at Headingley, and it was often extremely blustery and cold, making life difficult for the players in the middle. "You are trying to run in hard. The wind sometimes is on and off. So, it is very important to understand what the pace of the run-up is. "And I did have a chat with a couple of other guys as well, asking them what they did to be at the right pace, when they are running in to bowl. So, that is about it." The occasional rain and the drizzle also didn't help. "Every time the ball goes on the ground, it became wet. And when the ball becomes wet, it is going to get softer. The shine is not going to be around. So, I think that did play a part. "If there are clouds, there is going to be swing. If there is sun, there is not going to be swing. So, that is what we are looking to do. make sure we bowl the right areas. The gripping, I wouldn't say it was a problem. "It just got softer. And the moment it got softer, the seam got softer, the amount of purchase you get from the pitch differs." Positive dressing room The 29-year-old seamer said the Indian dressing room remains very positive despite losing a match they could have won. "Yeah, the dressing room is still nice and happy and very, very motivated. Like I said, we came here knowing what this opportunity meant for all of us. "And even in the game today, we might have looked quiet at some stages. But I think we still had a plan. We wanted to do something and we went about doing it. We got two wickets in a cluster twice, and that still kept the motivation. He said India did not give up till the very end. "You know, as a bowling unit, we still ended up taking the new ball when they needed about 20 runs, with the same hope that something's going to happen. "So, we were still there believing. We made sure till the last run is scored, we will be out there and making sure they work hard for it." While he was criticised for his expensive figures by some former players, Prasidh received backing from head coach Gautam Gambhir . "The culture we have created is we are learning off each other... no matter who is there, who is around, and Boom is around, he has been talking to us even before coming here. At least for me, I've been part of this team for few years now, so conversations are still going on," Prasidh said. He added, "One thing you cannot get is experience, that you have to do it yourself and I think all of us are excited if you look at the team. "It's my responsibility to get better and that's what I am trying, that's what I am working on, and I just want to make sure I put in the right kind of work, come back here, and put up better numbers."

India "Definitely Working On" This Area After 1st Test Loss To England, Reveals Prasidh Krishna
India's lower-order batters have left a lot to be desired with their failures in the first Test against England and seamer Prasidh Krishna says they are "putting in the work" at nets to come out better prepared for the second game in Birmingham. India's lower order caved in without a fight in both innings which proved decisive in the final outcome. The visitors lost their last seven wickets for 41 runs in the first innings to be bowled out for 471, and in the second essay, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh -- all fell for ducks -- as India lost their last six wickets for 32 runs. "As the lower-order batsmen, we definitely are working on... If you look at our net sessions, we are putting in the work. "I think it is about putting your mind in there as well, making sure you trust yourself, trust the skill that you have and be there at the crease for a little longer. And then the numbers and the runs are going to show, and we are working towards it," Prasidh said during a press conference. Runs from the lower order and tail will be welcome as India look to restore parity after losing the series opener by five wickets at Headingley. New skipper Shubman Gill's captaincy in his first Test at the helm received mixed reviews from former players. "About Shubman, yeah, I think he did a pretty good job. All of us saw how he rotated the bowlers, made sure everybody had enough breaks, brought in people at the right kind of spells," IPL 'Purple Cap' winner Prasidh said. "He saw opportunities and brought in the right kind of bowlers. All of that was great. And knowing him, he set a very good atmosphere around. He's been speaking to all of us. We always go in with a plan and the communication is happening there," he added. Gill succeeded Rohit Sharma as captain of the Indian Test team after the latter announced his retirement few days before Virat Kohli too decided to bring the curtains down on his illustrious career in the game's traditional format. The second match of the five-Test series begins here at Edgbaston from July 2.

I Take Complete Responsibility About...: Prasidh Krishna Makes Honest Admission After Expensive Outing In Leeds Test
After an expensive outing in the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Headingley, India fast bowler Prasidh Krishna said he is keen to make amends in the rest of the series after admitting to not bowling the desired lengths in the opening game. In England winning the first Test by five wickets and taking 1-0 lead in five-match series, Prasidh had a forgetful time in his first time of playing the longer format in the country. He picked up three wickets in the first innings but gave away 128 runs in his 20 overs at an economy rate of 6.4 In the second innings, he picked two wickets, but conceded 92 runs in 15 overs at an economy rate of 6.1. 'If I look at the first innings, I was a little too short then where I wanted to be, definitely 6-8 meters is ideal, and that's what I would say. I think second innings it got slightly better because again the wicket was slightly slower. I had to pitch a few slightly behind 8 meters and then go slightly fuller when I'm trying to get a wicket. So I definitely did not bowl the lengths that I wanted to.' 'I think so - not wanting to float it up there is definitely one of the reasons. Also, it honestly took me some time to get used to the slope that side. No reasons, but I should be able to do it as a professional. But I take complete responsibility about it and maybe do it better next time,' said Prasidh to reporters in Birmingham, ahead of second Test starting at Edgbaston on July 2. Alongside Shardul Thakur, Prasidh had the role of being the support bowler to Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, but him giving away runs aplenty meant the pressure made by senior pros just evaporated. To Prasidh's credit, the lanky bowler is keen to address this issue. 'Every time I come out to bowl, I am definitely looking to bowl a maiden. I am not really trying to give away boundaries or anything. The outfield was fast. The lengths, lines that I bowled was not perfect, to be honest, at most times, and they took me on. Some of them were edges. Some of them, I tried bowling bouncers and I ended up giving runs. So, I think somebody in the team had to do it.' 'If I sit back and say, I want to look at my numbers, what my economy is, and not really look at the wickets, it caught me a 4 and a 6, and then, Jamie Smith got out. So, if it means that I do that and get a wicket, I am happy to do it. But definitely, every time I come out to bowl, I am looking to keep the economy rate down and build the pressure up.' 'Definitely I had a few conversations with a few of them about how this game particularly went by. I definitely would want to bring that down to whatever best I can do. I think I'm learning as well. Well, I can't say anything. It's up to me. It's my responsibility to get better, and that's what I'm trying. That's what I'm working on. I just want to make sure I put in the right kind of work and come back here and put up better numbers,' he added. With India set to be without Bumrah for at least two of the remaining four Tests in England, Krishna said he is aware of the opportunity to step in whenever the fast-bowling spearhead is rested. "What the culture that we guys have created is we are learning off each other, no matter who's there, who's around. He's (Bumrah) been talking to all of us all though, even before coming here." "At least for me, I've been part of this team for a few years now, so the conversations are still going on. One thing you cannot get is experience, that you have to do it yourself, and yeah, I think all of us are excited." "If you look at the team, everybody is here, Siraj has played a lot of games, he's going to continue playing, and then whoever comes in, or whatever happens later, it's a great experience, and it's an opportunity for us to be here," added Prasidh. He signed off by saying the dressing room environment is going fine despite a deflating defeat in Leeds. 'The dressing room is still nice and happy and very, very motivated. Like I said, we came here (at Headingley) knowing what this opportunity meant for all of us. Even in that game, we might have looked quiet at some stages.' 'But I think we still had a plan. We wanted to do something and we went about doing it and we got two wickets in a cluster twice. So, that still kept the motivation going. Then, as a bowling unit, when something's happening, we still ended up taking the new ball.' 'They needed about 20 runs with the same hope of something's going to happen. So, we are still there believing. We made sure till the last run is scored that we were still out there and making sure they worked hard for it.'
