Prasidh is brave, has great game sense: KL Rahul

TIL Desk Sports/ KL Rahul isn’t surprised by India’s newest pace sensation Prasidh Krishna’s smash-hit international debut as felt that it was about time that he would join the ranks of big names from Karnataka, who have donned national colours.

Prasidh, who had made a name for himself with his performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Kolkata Knight Riders, took four wickets on his ODI debut against England.

“Look, quite honestly, I am not surprised with what he (Prasidh) did yesterday (Tuesday). I was always very confident that the next player that is going to come out of Karnataka, is going to be Prasidh,” said the pacer’s state team captain.

“We weren’t of the same batch, but I have watched him play a lot of junior cricket and in the nets, he is somebody, who will catch your eye,” Rahul said at the virtual press conference, ahead of the second ODI against England.
