Prasidh Krishna bags Impact Player award after India's 1-0 series win vs Sri Lanka

Prasidh Krishna made the most of the opportunity that came his way in Jasprit Bumrah's absence, playing a key role in India's 1-0 Test series win over Sri Lanka. His efforts with the ball were rewarded as he was named the Impact Player of the Series after taking seven wickets across the two Tests.

Krishna finished the series with an average of 24.57 and best figures of 3/52. He provided India with a steady pace option throughout the tour and delivered consistently in conditions that tested the



bowlers.

The award was presented to Krishna by India's performance analyst Hari Prasad Mohan, who praised the fast bowler for his preparation, discipline and ability to keep testing Sri Lanka's batters.

"So, the Impact Player of the Series goes to someone who had put the hard yards, made the ball talk, kept asking the right question to the batters, even in these adverse conditions. He made an impact with the ball whenever he got the opportunity," Hari Prasad said in a video posted by the BCCI.
