Former Australian pacer Glenn McGrath said Prasidh Krishna is high on confidence and bowling well at the moment. The Rajasthan Royals pace bowler is having a great time with the ball in the IPL 2022.

Prasidh has paired with New Zealand speedster Trent Boult as Royals’ new-ball bowling combination. The Karnataka bowler has claimed eight wickets in seven games of IPL 2022 so far with an economy rate of 8.14.

In the match against Delhi Capitals, the Rishabh Pant & co needed 36 runs in the last two overs with Rovman Powell (16 off nine balls) and Lalit Yadav (37 in 21 deliveries) looking well-settled on the crease to take their team past the finishing line. Prasidh got the better of Lalit on the third bowl of the penultimate over and completed a maiden-wicket over.

Prasidh Krishna is mentally strong and has a good attitude: Glenn McGrath

Prasidh’s tremendous efforts were overshadowed by the no-ball drama in the final over but that didn’t stop the Royals from clinching a 15-run win. McGrath applauded Prasidh, who trained at the MRF Pace Foundation, for bowling the penultimate over with ultimate confidence.
