Biography

Prasidh Krishna, born on February 19, 1996, in Bangalore, Karnataka, is a young and talented fast bowler who has made a significant impact in Indian cricket. Known for his height, pace, and ability to generate bounce, Krishna has quickly emerged as one of the promising fast bowlers in India's cricketing future.

 

Hailing from a family of sports enthusiasts, Prasidh’s early interest in cricket was nurtured through various local tournaments. His natural ability to bowl fast and his commitment to improving his skills on the field helped him make his mark in Karnataka’s domestic circuit, which eventually paved the way for his national debut.

 

Early Career and Domestic Success

Prasidh made his debut in First-Class cricket for Karnataka in 2015, where he impressed with his pace and consistency. His performance in domestic cricket, particularly in the Ranji Trophy, was marked by his ability to bowl with speed and bounce, making him a force to be reckoned with. His pace and accuracy earned him significant attention, leading to his call-up to India’s A team.

 

Krishna’s performances in the domestic arena and for India A helped him build a reputation as one of the most promising young fast bowlers. His key performances came in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he was instrumental in Karnataka’s success. His ability to bowl long spells with pace and precision made him an exciting prospect for the national team.

 

International Career

Prasidh Krishna’s journey to the Indian national team began in 2021 when he was included in the squad for the One-Day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka. He made an immediate impact in his debut match, picking up 4 wickets in an ODI match, showcasing his potential on the big stage. Krishna’s pace and ability to hit the right lengths earned him the trust of the team management, and he became a regular member of India’s ODI bowling attack.

 

In 2021, Krishna was also called up for the Indian Test squad for the series against England and New Zealand, where he continued to impress with his pace and bounce, even on challenging overseas conditions. He was particularly noted for his ability to extract bounce from flat pitches, making him a valuable asset in both Test and limited-overs formats.

 

Skills and Playing Style

Prasidh Krishna is known for his pace, height, and bounce, which he generates naturally due to his tall frame (standing at 6 feet 2 inches). His ability to bowl consistently in the 140-150 km/h range makes him a potent weapon for India. Krishna's primary strength lies in his ability to generate extra bounce off the pitch, which allows him to trouble batsmen, especially those unfamiliar with fast and bouncy conditions.

 

He is also known for his ability to bowl in crucial situations, especially when the team needs wickets in the middle overs or at the death in ODIs. His control over swing and his ability to bowl Yorkers and slower balls make him a well-rounded bowler.

 

Krishna has also impressed with his consistency, often maintaining pressure from one end, which allows his fellow bowlers to take wickets at the other. His partnership with senior bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami has added depth to India’s fast-bowling attack.
