Iceland Cricket absolutely destroys Prasidh Krishna after shambolic display in Edgbaston

Team India fast bowler Prasidh Krishna had a difficult outing on Day 3 of the second Test match against England at Edgbaston, as he struggled to find rhythm and leaked runs. Iceland Cricket, known for its sarcastic posts on social media, brutally trolled the Indian pacer following his expensive spell.

England found themselves in early trouble on Day 3 after Mohammed Siraj removed Joe Root and Ben Stokes in back-to-back deliveries during the second over of the morning. However, Jamie Smith turned the momentum with an aggressive counterattack, especially targeting Prasidh Krishna.

Smith hammered the pacer for four boundaries and a six in the 32nd over. Prasidh ended with figures of 8 overs, 61 runs, and no wickets before the lunch break at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Friday, July 4.

Harry Brook and Jamie Smith Add 303 for the Sixth Wicket to Frustrate Indian Bowlers

England staged a remarkable fightback on Day 3 of the Edgbaston Test. Harry Brook and Jamie Smith shared a massive 303-run stand for the sixth wicket. They counter-attacked to ease the pressure and frustrate the Indian bowlers.

Both batters reached centuries during the partnership, steadily closing the gap and ensuring India could not enforce the follow-on. Brook was dismissed for 158 by Akash Deep with the second new ball, which triggered a collapse.

England lost their final five wickets for just 20 runs and were bowled out for 407, with Mohammed Siraj finishing as the standout performer, taking 6 for 70. Prasidh conceded 72 runs in 13 overs at an economy rate of 5.5 in the first innings.

Iceland Cricket Trolls Prasidh Krishna Over Expensive Bowling Figures

Iceland Cricket mocked Prasidh Krishna on social media for his expensive bowling performance. They stated that Prasidh’s economy rate was even more expensive than the high cost of living in Iceland.

"People say it's expensive in Iceland, but have they seen the economy rate of Prasidh Krishna ?" Iceland Cricket wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Krishna’s lack of consistency with his line and length has been a major concern on this tour. He failed to apply pressure on batters, which has made it difficult for India to build pressure from both ends, weakening their overall bowling effectiveness.

Prasidh Krishna Created an Unwanted Record in ENG vs IND 2025 1st Test

Prasidh had a forgettable outing in the opening Test against England at Headingley, where his bowling proved costly. He picked up three wickets in the first innings but conceded 128 runs from just 20 overs at an economy rate of 6.40.

It was the worst by an Indian in Test history for a spell of 20 or more overs. He struggled again in the fourth innings, returning figures of 0/92 in 15 overs at an economy rate of 6.10.

England capitalized on the momentum and completed one of the highest successful run chases in Test cricket history - the tenth-best overall. The Ben Stokes-led team handed India a demoralizing defeat to begin the series.
