Prasidh Krishna Explains How His Bowling Aggression Appears
Prasidh Krishna is a fast bowler for India.
He said being aggressive does not always mean looking angry or acting loudly.
For him, aggression means bowling with energy, focus and discipline.
He changes where he pitches the ball depending on the pitch and weather conditions.
India’s coaches and analysts help him choose the best length.
India scored 503 runs before declaring their innings finished.
Sri Lanka then lost two wickets and had scored eight runs by the end of the day.
Krishna took one of those wickets by dismissing Lahiru Udara.
He also said the pitch helped the ball move and praised Yashasvi Jaiswal for taking an excellent catch.
Prasidh Krishna said his aggression is shown through bowling intensity, effort and discipline rather than his on-field behaviour.
He said India’s analysts and coaches help decide the appropriate bowling length for different pitches and conditions.
India declared at 503/9 before Sri Lanka ended day two at 8/2 in Colombo.
Krishna dismissed Lahiru Udara for one, while debutant Kamil Mishara remained unbeaten on five.
Krishna credited Colombo’s pitch for seam movement and praised Yashasvi Jaiswal’s catch and India’s slip cordon.
