Prasidh Krishna sets embarassing record
Prasidh Krishna, one of the four pacers in the lineup, was expected to perform well and play a key role in India’s bowling department. However, despite taking three wickets in the first innings against England, he ended up setting an embarrassing record.
Prasidh Krishna conceded 128 runs in first innings
India’s key pacer Prasidh Krishna conceded 128 runs in 20 overs. Despite taking the wickets of England’s set batters Ollie Pope, Harry Brook, and Jamie Smith, he ended up being an expensive bowler. Prasidh bowled at an economy rate of 6.40, which is now the worst economy in a Test innings by an Indian bowler who has bowled 20 or more overs.
Krishna surpassed Varun Aron’s record
Prasidh Krishna surpassed Varun Aron’s record, who had previously conceded 136 runs in 23 overs while taking 2 wickets against Australia at Adelaide in 2014. Aron’s economy rate in that innings was 5.91.
India posted a total of 471 in the first innings
India is facing England in the first Test of the five-match series at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds. After posting a strong total of 471 in the first innings, powered by centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant, India looked set for a 550-plus score. However, a batting collapse followed the dismissal of skipper Shubman Gill, halting their momentum.
Jasprit Bumrah grabbed a five-wicket haul
Jasprit Bumrah, India’s key pacer, once again played a crucial role by claiming a five-wicket haul in the first innings. With this performance, he not only became the Indian bowler with the most Test wickets (150) in SENA countries but also equaled Kapil Dev’s record of 12 five-wicket hauls in overseas Tests.
