Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna is making a triumphant comeback to the team after a prolonged injury, showcasing outstanding form in the ongoing T20I series against Ireland. Following a stellar performance in the first game, he continued his impressive display in the second match.
Prasidh Krishna, who secured two wickets in the opening game, wasted no time in making an impact during the second match. In the ongoing contest at The Village in Dublin, the Karnataka pacer claimed two wickets in the very first over he bowled.
However, his impact wasn’t confined to his bowling prowess alone; Prasidh Krishna also displayed signs of aggression on the field. After delivering his second ball to Andrew Balbirnie in the second over, he threw the ball back at the batter, hitting him on the back and energizing the crowd.
