Prasidh Krishna proved to be quite expensive with the ball during the first Test at Headingley.<\/a> India suffered a five-wicket defeat against England in the opening Test at Headingley, Leeds. Despite setting a daunting target of 371 runs in the fourth innings, the Indian bowlers couldn\u2019t hold their ground. England chased down the total comfortably, capitalizing on India\u2019s lack of breakthroughs and poor economy rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prasidh Krishna, in particular, struggled throughout the match. The right-arm pacer recorded an economy rate of over 6.0 in both innings. He gave away 128 runs in 20 overs in the first innings and conceded 92 runs in 15 overs in the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery time I come on to bowl, my aim is always to deliver a maiden over. I never try to concede boundaries or easy runs,\u201d Prasidh said. \u201cThe Headingley outfield was quick, and to be honest, my lengths and lines weren\u2019t spot-on. They went after me \u2014 some runs came from edges, and some from bouncers I attempted that didn\u2019t land well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 29-year-old further stated that improving his economy rate remains a key focus as the series progresses. \u201cI definitely want to bring that economy down as much as possible. I\u2019m learning with every game \u2014 it\u2019s my responsibility to get better. I\u2019m working hard, and my goal is to come back stronger with improved numbers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
