In the Gujarat Titans' most recent game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Prasidh Krishna yet again came with another magical effort. While defending 225 runs, he gave away just 19 runs in the four overs that he bowled and picked two crucial wickets, helping his team win the match by 38 runs.

He and Hazlewood are mirror images of each other - Aakash Chopra's massive praise on Prasidh Krishna

Aakash Chopra correlated Prasidh with Josh Hazlewood, saying that he is a mirror image of an Australian pacer. While elaborating on his point, the cricketer-turned-commentator said:

"Krishna will become Prasidh. He has the Purple Cap and Sai Sudharsan has the Orange Cap. It seems like he and Hazlewood are mirror images of each other. They are similar kinds of bowlers. They have a high-arm action and pitch the ball slightly behind the good length, and trouble the batters a little with bounce," Aakash Chopra said on his youtube channel.

I feel you should take him to England - Aakash Chopra on Prasidh Krishna

Aakash Chopra also urged the BCCI to take Prasidh to England for the five-match Test series. He said that if the pacer continues his form, he will be there on the flight. He explained:

"They change their pace slightly, but the slower one is not very good. They don't rely too much on yorkers and bowl sharp bouncers. It was a god-like performance. I feel you should take him to England. If he remains in such form, he should be on the flight to England, and I really hope he is."

After the IPL 2025, India will tour England for the five-match Test series, which will begin from 20th June in Leeds.
