Prasidh Krishna - ECO rate of 4.75 in tests, 5.7 in ODS, and 11 in T20Is - Former KKR buddy that Gambhir wants to force on the national side

[rangeelaraja]

This guy does not belong to the international level - everytime i see him , he just keeps getting smashed. An economy rate of almost 5 in tests. 

 

Always bowls a horrible line. 

[tweaker]

Gambhir is content in playing with a small set of players.

So new players should have been tried especially in odi and T20

[zen]

Krishna is probably not an ER bowler but a SR bowler where he looks to pick up 2-3 wickets. 
 

He does not even play consistently so it is pointless to be judging such players on stats and on metrics not designed to reflect their potential strength.

Purple cap holder in IPL? He has improved, can be a flash in pan performance but how do we tell without testing? 

 

The time is running for him, but seeing our current options, not a terrible selection.

Bledy hell ... he's a strike bowler. Economy rate and all does not matter. 

[rangeelaraja]

His bowling cost the match. Piece of **** going at 10 RPO.

Strike "rate" does not matter. He does not waste strikes. Rather, he provides impact strikes. E.g., - just when we needed - he nailed Breetzke and opened the floodgates to victory.

 

Only geniuses can see beyond the obvious.

Should only play Tests

[Lord]

Don't think its KKR connection. He's just the 3rd best option with Bumrah/Siraj nor playing

[Lone Wolf]

India don't have a lot of skill.and talent in fast bowling.

 

Other options are raw and untested.

He is poor but I get why they selected him in ODIs.

anyone in this world can pick wickets if you  keep going for 8rpo. 

[Cloud9]

I have already mentioned,he is Indian Haris Rauf.

Pace with no line and length

He reminds me of Agarkar. AA atleast had a good beginning ( record fastest to 50 wickets in ODIs). This is just the beginning. He will make the fans cry for many years.

then bowlers who are not picking up wickets should heed your advice to bowl at your suggested RPO.

You misunderstood my comment.

Here is the Indian fast bowling hierarchy 

1st tier

Bumrah- guaranteed in all formats 

 

2nd tier 

Siraj- guaranteed premium starter in tests but not white ball.

Arshdeep- guaranteed premium starter in white ball but not tests

 

3d tier 

Hardik Pandya- good enough to open the bowling in T20s and can walk in as a fast bowler in white ball.

 

3rd tier A

Akashdeep- for now has won an extended run for his performances in England and whenever he got a shot.

 

Dube- if you consider him a medium pacer, did well every opportunity he got and a regular for now in T20.

 

Harshit Rana- can tonk a few, bowls 140ish and safe fielder (nothing extraordinary)

 

Prasidh- please see below 

 

Apart from the above  list  Mukesh, Avesh, Kamboj, Khlaleel, Vyshak, Deshpande, Nitish Reddy, a couple of  other trundlers who played in recent A team Asia Cup are your options.

 

 Umran Malik, Mayank Yadav are not realistic options so don’t make this a wish list. 
 

Shami is done.

 

Thakur-Chahar if they have good IPL may leapfrog a few players as Gambhir loves such players.

 

That’s about it. based on that Prasidh walks in to your bench team.
