IND vs ZIM: It Is Good To See Team Management Persist With Prasidh Krishna: Saba Karim

Former India selector Saba Karim expressed satisfaction that the current team management is sticking with fast bowler Prasidh Krishna in the ongoing ODI series against Zimbabwe despite his poor performances in the previous series against the West Indies and England.

Krishna took just two wickets in two One-Day Internationals against England and one wicket in two matches against the West Indies. Krishna finished the Zimbabwe tour with figures of 3/50 and 1/28 before being rested for the final ODI.

There Is Still So Much To Learn For Prasidh Krishna: Saba Karim

“Yes, and you know what, against West Indies in the ODI, if I remember correctly, he didn’t have a very good outing. It’s good to see that the Indian team management is persistent with Prasidh Krishna and that’s been the hallmark of this new set-up,” Saba Karim said while speaking on SPORTS18.

“Once they trust a player, they want to give him enough chances and that helps a player not to be so afraid of any failures and that is what we saw in the last outing of Prasidh Krishna.

He did well, he was able to change his length. That wicket that he took from a Yorker against a well-settled bat. That was quite good to see.

“There’s still so much to learn for him. His track record outside India hasn’t been really good because he’s more of hitting the hard length kind of a bowler and abroad, you need to change your length so that you’re able to pick wickets as well as be economical. But I think these are great signs for Prasidh Krishna as the more he plays I’m sure he’ll improve, and he’ll add to the rich pool of Indian pace bowlers that we see right now,” Saba added.

Krishna has not impressed in the Zimbabwe series as well.
