With India shifting from the fast-paced IPL to the strategic Test cricket, fast bowler Prasidh Krishna believes this transition is now familiar to modern cricketers. As India gears up for a one-off Test against Afghanistan, Prasidh mentioned that players are well-versed in switching between formats, with the adjustment being more mental than technical.
Prasidh expressed his delight at the serene atmosphere of the cricket ground and emphasized the mental aspect of the game. Despite the quick turnaround from the IPL to Test cricket, he highlighted the adaptability of Indian players across different formats, stressing the importance of mental preparedness for the upcoming Test matches.
The Karnataka pacer emphasized that while the technical aspects of bowling remain constant, the challenge in Test cricket lies in maintaining discipline over extended periods. He underlined the need for patience and mental fortitude to sustain consistent performance and avoid rushing for wickets prematurely.
Expected to play a crucial role in India’s pace attack, Prasidh aims to uphold the standards set in recent Test matches and contribute to a strong start in the red-ball season. He emphasized the significance of consistency, setting high personal benchmarks, and laying a strong foundation for the team in the upcoming Test series.
