Indian speedster Prasidh Krishna is one of the key players in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) line-up in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the 26-year-old has impressed with his performance in the ten matches played so far.
The pacer from Bangalore, who has previously played for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), was signed for Rs 10 crore in the mega auction and has picked up 12 wickets.He, along with Kiwi quick Trent Boult and young Indian rookie Kuldeep Sen, has done good work in the powerplay overs and has also bowled magnificently well at the death as well.And one of the major reasons for the improvement in RR’s pace attack is the presence of former Sri Lankan captain and IPL legend Lasith Malinga. The second-highest wicket-taker in the history of the league joined the Royals as fast-bowling coach ahead of the start of the season. And his inputs to the players have helped them by leaps and bounds.
And recently, in a short trailer of the fourth episode of the Royals Podcast, Krishna was seen sharing a hilarious story about what happened when he met the Sri Lankan superstar for the first time.He said, “(After) The first meeting I had with Lasith. The next thing I told Karun and Devdutt, ‘I am going to marry this guy’. He is a very interesting guy. You don’t really see much of him, from his face and all that.”Here’s the video:With six wins in ten matches played so far, the inaugural edition winners are in the third position in the league table but still need to win at least three more matches to be sure of finishing in the top two.The Sanju Samson-led side started the season on a high but have suffered two back-to-back defeats against the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the last two matches.They will next line-up against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match Number 52 of IPL 2022 at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Saturday (May 7).
