Indian pace bowler Prasidh Krishna had a dream debut in the first ODI against England as he registered the best figures by an Indian on debut as well. He eventually registered the figures of 4/54 and brought back India in the game when England were going strong in the chase.
He removed Jason Roy and later three more and his stunning show with the ball impressed former England captain Michael Vaughan who has praised the youngster recently, citing the role of Rahul Dravid in his success as well.
"Whatever India are doing behind the scenes, I know we keep mentioning the IPL but I think Rahul Dravid with his A-side and development program is clearly installing the right mentality in his players. All these players are being brought through the system into the international India team which is a huge pressure cooker. Full credit to the system that India have produced, they are getting it absolutely right," Vaughan said to Cricbuzz.
"It is very easy to say that the culture might be good, that Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri have created a nice culture but it is the individuals that are giving themselves the belief to go out there and perform. There is only you that can do it. No one else can do it for you," he further added.
"A young debutant with great character. To bounce back the way that he did today just shows that he is made of the right stuff. That’s why these kinds of bowlers are picked in white-ball cricket. They may go for a few runs, but they get wickets. They unsettle the batting unit. They bowl a few short bowls at a decent pace. Every now and then they get wickets with poor balls because the batters think they can crash them to the boundary at a regular occurrence," Vaughan concluded.
India won the first ODI by 66 runs and the second game will take place on March 26.
