Indian bowlers looked helpless in front of these two. There was a big partnership of 162 runs between the two for the third wicket, due to which the Kiwi team won.

One player is being blamed for India’s defeat. Actually, the fans are blaming this defeat on Prasidh Krishna. Let us know what Prasidh did that fans are holding him responsible for the defeat.

Prasidh Krishna dropped the catch of Daryl Mitchell

Team India had given a target of 285 runs to New Zealand, chasing which the Kiwi team had reached close to 200 runs at the loss of just two wickets in 35 overs. There was a century partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Will Young. Both the batsmen were playing scoring half centuries. India was looking for a wicket here. Then the famous Krishna made a big mistake.

Actually, Prasidh dropped an easy catch on the fourth ball of the 36th over of the innings. This catch was of Daryl Mitchell. Mitchell tried to hit a big shot on the fourth ball of Kuldeep Yadav, but the ball went in the air. While running, Prasidh came under the ball, but the ball was snatched from his hand. Mitchell was currently batting on 83 runs. If India had got this wicket, it could have made a comeback in the match, because Mitchell took full advantage of this gift of life, first scored a century and then scored unbeaten 131 runs to give victory to New Zealand.

New Zealand chased the biggest target

This is New Zealand’s biggest successful run chase of the target on Indian soil. Earlier in the 2023 World Cup, New Zealand had won the match against England by scoring 283 runs. Apart from this, New Zealand also made its fourth highest successful run chase in ODI against India. This is New Zealand’s first win after eight consecutive defeats in ODIs against India since 2023.

IND vs SA 3rd ODI: The ODI series between India and South Africa has now reached a decisive turn. The third and last ODI to be held in Visakhapatnam will be a ‘do or die’ match for both the teams. After winning the first match, India faltered badly in the second ODI. South Africa easily chased the mountain-like target of 359 runs. In such a situation, the pressure on the team captained by KL Rahul has doubled.

Bowling became the biggest concern

Indian bowlers looked completely scattered in the second ODI. Especially fast bowler Prasidh Krishna. Who gave away 85 runs in 8.2 overs and did not get a single wicket. His performance has been ordinary throughout the series. After giving consistent runs and not being able to make any impact, the only option left for the selectors and team management is to make a change. It is believed that Prasidh Krishna’s departure in the decisive match is almost certain.

All-rounder’s entry confirmed in the team?

According to reports, young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy can be included in the playing 11 in his place. Nitish Reddy is in excellent form in domestic cricket and has the ability to score fast runs in the death overs as well as take wickets. The pitch of Visakhapatnam helps batting. Therefore, there is a need for an all-rounder who can give depth to the team in batting and help as the sixth option in bowling.

In the last two matches, Team India found it difficult to score runs in the last overs. In such a situation, the inclusion of Nitish Reddy will strengthen the Indian batting and the team balance will also improve.

Reshuffle in bowling line-up

If Prasidh Krishna is out then the bowling unit could look like this,

Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Nitish Reddy as sixth bowlers. This combination will provide stability to the team in both the batting and bowling departments.

Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Washington Sundar, KL Rahul (captain and wicketkeeper), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh.

An interesting incident has surfaced on social media during the ongoing India vs Australia ODI series in Australia. Three players of the Indian team, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel and Prasidh Krishna, booked an Uber cab in Adelaide, and when the driver saw that the Indian cricket star was sitting in his car, he was shocked.

The driver’s eyes widened

When the cricketers sat in the car, everything was recorded in the dashcam installed in the cab and within a few hours it went viral on social media. In the video, it is seen that Prasidh Krishna is sitting in the front seat, while Yashasvi and Jurel are seen sitting in the back seat. The driver was completely shocked after seeing them, but then completed the rest of the journey without disturbing them. However, it was clearly visible from the driver’s face that he was not able to understand what the Indian cricket stars were doing in his car.

The interesting thing is that these three players have played together for IPL team Rajasthan Royals.
