Prasidh Krishna 20 Consecutive Dot Balls: In the third ODI match at the historic ground of Lord’s, the Indian team lost the toss and came to bowl first. At the same time, after winning the toss and coming to bat first, the host England team made a very strong start and put 58 runs on the board without losing any wicket in the powerplay of the first 10 overs. But amidst this stormy start, the famous Indian fast bowler Krishna troubled the English batsmen with his sharp and tight bowling.
Amazing spell thrown in powerplay, two overs maiden
In this match, in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna took charge of the fast bowling. In front of them, England’s powerful openers were seen desperately yearning to steal one run each. Prasidh Krishna bowled with a very tight line-length during the initial powerplay. He bowled a total of 5 overs in his first spell, costing only 21 runs at an excellent economy rate of 4.20. However, despite this brilliant spell, he could not bring any success to his team, but he put such pressure on the English batsmen not to score runs, which created a new feat in modern cricket. During this spell, Prasidh also bowled 2 completely maiden overs.
Unique feat of 20 consecutive dot balls
During this period, Prasidh Krishna’s dominance was such that he performed the amazing feat of bowling 20 dot balls continuously in the match. In modern cricket, where batsmen try to play big shots on every ball, not allowing any batsman to score runs for 20 consecutive balls is no less than a miracle.
Prasidh Krishna spent 12 runs in his first over. But after this he made a strong comeback. Prasidh, who came to bowl again in the fourth over of England’s innings, bowled the last 5 balls of his over completely as dots. After this he bowled the sixth and eighth overs of England’s innings. Even in the last i.e. 10th over of the power play, Prasidh completed his figure of 20 consecutive dot balls by bowling 3 consecutive dot balls. His brilliant bowling surprised everyone.
