Prasidh Krishna is under heavy criticism for his showing in the ODI against South Africa. He took two wickets, but many fans are calling them fluke dismissals after he struggled to control the run flow.
Prasidh’s Expensive Spell
Prasidh leaked 85 runs in 8.2 overs at an economy of 10.20. He looked unable to build any pressure. Viewers felt he lacked variations and failed to create dot ball pressure during key situations.
Fans Question His ODI Fitness
Social media reacted sharply. Many said he is not suited for ODI cricket. They pointed out that he does not have the awareness to adapt to match situations or take wickets through planned execution.
Recent Record Adds to the Criticism
In his last five ODIs, Prasidh’s lowest economy has been 6.54. His highest was yesterday at 10.20. He has played 14 ODIs in three years. He has taken one 3 wicket haul against Zimbabwe, two games with two wickets, and the rest with a single wicket each.
Selection Calls Under Scrutiny
Fans are questioning why he is being picked despite inconsistent returns. With Bumrah, Siraj and Shami not part of the current squad, the absence of experience is affecting India’s attack.
Need for a Shift in Selection Approach
Many feel the team needs an overhaul in selection strategy. Bringing experienced pacers back into the setup could restore balance and stability to India’s pace unit.
