Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pacer Prasidh Krishna who made his India debut in the recently concluded limited-overs series against England feels that the international exposure has only added to his confidence.
“It's been two weeks that I played three games for India and now back in KKR, practicing and waiting to play. It's been a great experience to have made my debut for India. It's a dream come true for any cricketer. In terms of the praise I have been getting, it only adds to my confidence levels and I look forward to taking it ahead from here,” he said.
Krishna picked 2 wickets in his four overs for 35 runs in KKR’s opening game against David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2021 and then talked about how the senior players in the team India helped him on his debut.
“At the beginning of the match where I made my debut, there was a bit of pressure situation. But Virat and the other seniors told me to always be on the front foot, and it worked well. So yes, that's one lesson I have learnt - about being positive no matter what the situation is,” the right-arm quick told kkr.in.
