IND vs ENG: KL Rahul - Prasidh Krishna is brave and aggressive

Prasidh Krishna

KL Rahul on Thursday said he wasn't surprised with the performance of pace bowler M Prasidh Krishna, who took four for 54 on debut in the first ODI against England, and said the youngster's aggression and bravery impressed him.

"I am not surprised with what he did yesterday [Tuesday]. I was always confident that the next player to come out of Karnataka will be Prasidh. We weren't of the same batch, but I watched him play a lot of junior cricket and also in the nets. He was somebody who would catch your eye. Tall guy, bowls quick and gets a lot of bounce from the wicket," Rahul said in a virtual interaction.

Rahul said Prasidh Krishna also possesses a keen sense of game. "Having played with him for the last couple of seasons for Mushtaq Ali [Trophy] and Vijay Hazare [Trophy], I realised that he is a brave boy. [Also impressive is] how he understands the game. He is a very keen learner and he is very brave, and comes in with a lot of aggression," he said.
