IPL 2018: Prasidh Krishna Reveals his Game Plan to Bowl on Difficult Indore Pitch

Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler, Prasidh Krishna revealed his bowling plans on an arduous Indore Pitch. Kolkata’s fast bowler said he was trying to hit the right areas. Thus, pacer wanted to stick to his plan.

Krishna was successful in executing his plan, as he scalped two wickets and conceded just 31 runs in his quota of four overs.

Meanwhile, the Indore Pitch was a nightmare for the bowlers, as more than 450 runs conceded in 40 overs. Furthermore, the short boundaries made life difficult for the bowlers to put pressure on the batsmen.

Krishna was right on the money.

Prasidh Krishna said while talking to Kolkata Knight Riders official website kkr.in, It is a tough challenge but that is what you have to learn at my age or whoever it is. You look forward to facing challenges. Definitely it was a very tough wicket to bowl, because the ground was also very small. You have to come up with things where you don’t get hit and just give it away for singles.

Krishna who represents Karnataka in the Domestic season added he tried to keep things simple.

The 22-year old bowler added he observed other bowler’s line and length. Thus, he tried not to repeat the same mistakes.

Krishna went on to add, “So my plan was to keep it simple. I watched the other bowlers bowled so I knew which areas was easy for the batsmen. So I made sure not to give easily to the batsmen. Every bowlers get hit, but if I get hit, I would rather get hit in my plan.”

Great learning experience for the Young fast bowler.

The young fast bowler who was named, as Kamlesh Nagakoti replacement further added he received great support from teammates. The experienced players were guiding the young bowler.

Prasidh added, “We had our plan set. He just came and told me to be calm and execute whatever has been planned. Everyone in the team games me the confidence to do whatever we’ve planned”.

The Karnataka fast bowler added he tried to bowl all his 24 balls in the right place.

Prasidh said he wanted to make batsmen job difficult by trying to execute his bowling plans.

Kolkata Knight Riders pacer added, “In a small ground, you never know what’s going to happen. One big over and pressure is on to you again. So I said to myself, no matter what, all the 24 balls I bowl, I am going to make sure that it is difficult for the batsmen to score”.

It was all but a must-win encounter for the Kolkata Knight Riders. Consequently, Dinesh Karthik-led team was able to come up roses by 31 runs.

Meanwhile, this experience will add to the confidence of Prasidh Krishna. The Karnataka had a good performance in the Vijay Hazare trophy, and it is a perfect opportunity for the fast bowler.
