Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar commended fast bowler Prasidh Krishna for his pivotal role in India’s dominant nine-wicket victory over Afghanistan in the third ODI. Prasidh’s remarkable five-wicket haul, including figures of 5-23, dismantled Afghanistan’s top order, setting the stage for India’s triumph.
Gavaskar highlighted Prasidh’s resurgence, emphasizing his adaptability and improved bowling tactics in the crucial match. The former captain noted Prasidh’s shift to fuller lengths and effective use of the new ball, showcasing his growth as a bowler.
Despite a brief Afghan recovery led by Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai, Prasidh’s relentless bowling display, which included the dismissal of Shahidi, ensured India’s victory. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unbeaten century and Rohit Sharma’s contribution further solidified India’s commanding performance.
