Former India player Aakash Chopra has praised Prasidh Krishna for bowling a match-defining spell in the Gujarat Titans’ (GT) match against the SRH. He also urged the selectors to pick Krishna in the Indian squad for the upcoming away Test series against England as well.

Reviewing the GT-SRH match in a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, he said, “Krishna will become Prasidh. He has the Purple Cap and Sai Sudharsan has the Orange Cap. It seems like he and Hazlewood are mirror images of each other. They are similar kinds of bowlers. They have a high-arm action and pitch the ball slightly behind the good length, and trouble the batters a little with bounce.”

“They change their pace slightly, but the slower one is not very good. They don’t rely too much on yorkers and bowl sharp bouncers. It was a god-like performance. I feel you should take him to England. If he remains in such form, he should be on the flight to England, and I really hope he is,” he further added.

While talking about GT’s batting against SRH, Aakash Chopra also stated that Shubman Gill (76 off 38), Sai Sudharsan (48 off 23) and Jos Buttler (64 off 37) are the best top three in the tournament as well.

“The top three of Gujarat are the best in this IPL. They don’t hit sixes, they keep hitting fours continuously. Even in this match, despite Gujarat scoring more runs, Hyderabad hit more sixes. They (GT) hit more fours. They are a four-hitting team, but they are a superhit team,” he said.

“Sai Sudharsan plays properly. Shubman Gill also does the same. Shubman Gill was looking imperious. Considering the kind of form he was in, it seemed like he would score a hundred for sure. Jos Buttler – what an inclusion. I am thinking which overseas players have had the greatest impact in this tournament – Jos Buttler, Nicholas Pooran for LSG and Josh Hazlewood for RCB,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
