India pacer Prasidh Krishna has opened up about his approach to Test cricket, his long battle with injuries and the mindset that helped him return to the highest level.

Prasidh, who has spent significant time on the sidelines because of injuries, including a lower-back stress fracture that required surgery, said he always wanted to return stronger than before.

The fast bowler has taken 32 wickets in nine Tests since making his debut in 2023. He has also picked up 50 wickets in 28 ODIs.

Prasidh On The Importance Of Bowling Partnerships

Prasidh believes Test cricket is not only about individual performances. According to him, bowlers need to work together and understand what their teammates are trying to do.

‘Completely Different Challenge’ Of Five-Test Series

Prasidh is also looking forward to India’s upcoming five-match home Test series against Australia.

Having already experienced five-Test series in Australia and England, the pacer knows the challenge is not just about producing one big performance. Maintaining rhythm and fitness across the entire series is equally important.

India’s Busy Home Season

Before the Australia series, India are set to begin a busy home season with a three-match ODI series against the West Indies, starting September 27 in Thiruvananthapuram.

The series will also be an important part of India’s preparations for the 2027 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

For Prasidh, however, the bigger challenge will be to stay fit, build rhythm and make the most of his opportunities after overcoming a difficult injury period.
