'I Didn't Even Know Until KL Rahul Told Me Those Are The Best Figures For A Debutant': Prasidh Krishna Recalls Dream Debut

With the plenty of youths making their India debut in the course of the last 18 months, it is frequently simple to fail to remember a portion of the striking exhibitions the players have doled out.

Prasidh Krishna, for instance, in March of last year, during the ODI series between India and England, had a fantastic debut. Playing his maiden 50-over game for India, Prasidh excused Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Sam Billings, and Sam Curran and got done with 4/54 to assist his group in dominating the game by 66 runs.

Wasn’t Aware About It Until KL Told Me: Prasidh Krishna On His B0wling Record

As it ended up, Prasidh’s figures of 4/54 stay the best figures by an India bowler on their ODI debut. Before Prasidh, the record had a place with Noel David, who had asserted 3/21 against West Indies in Port of Spain in 1997.

In any case, since Prasidh isn’t a sucker for details and numbers, he didn’t know about it until his kindred Bengaluru mate KL Rahul educated him regarding the extent of his accomplishment.

“I am not somebody who is very big on numbers. I didn’t even know until I got back and KL told me that those are the best figures for a debutant so I am very happy about that as well,” Prasidh said on ‘Red Bull’s Greatness Starts Here’, a video of which was shared by CricTracker.

Yet, he returned solid in the second spell to break a dangerous partnership of 135 runs among Roy and Jonny Bairstow. Prasidh uncovered that after the match was over, his family who was present in the stadium, welcomed him joyously for his gallant endeavors.

“It was late in the night, 12, 12:30 when I got back and the whole family was waiting for me. I had to come down. I had to stay in the same clothes. They wanted to see me wearing the India colours and then we had a long chat for half an hour, 45 minutes and then went back to sleep so it is something that is going to remain in my memory forever,” added the India pacer.
