India’s up-and-coming pace-bowling sensation, Prasidh Krishna, has a reputation for being aggressive on the field. In fact, the 26-year-old Karnataka quick’s fiery disposition is what makes him such a potent wicket-taking option in the shortest format of the game.
Aaron Finch and Prasidh Krishna involved in a heated face-off during RR vs KKR match
During Monday night’s IPL match between Rajasthan and Kolkata, KKR opener Aaron Finch got some first-hand taste of Krishna’s on-field aggression. The 9th over of KKR’s batting innings saw Finch score 2 quick boundaries of Prasidh’s bowling. However, it was Prasidh who had the last laugh in the player-battle, as he managed to get Finch out on a short and wide delivery.
Following the dismissal, Prasidh made a point to send Finch back to the pavilion with a verbal barrage. This display of sheer emotions from Prasidh became quite viral on social media; so much so that his Karnataka team mate, KL Rahul, decided to troll him on the same.
