Glenn McGrath influenced him greatly during his stint at the MRF Pace Foundation and India’s latest fast bowler Prasidh Krishna on Thursday said the first thing he learned from the Australian great was to remain calm and composed.
The Karnataka pacer made a record-breaking start to his international career, picking four wickets on ODI debut, as India defeated England by 66 runs to go one up in the three-match series.
“The first and foremost thing that I observed was he (Glenn McGrath) was a really calm person and he was never excited or overawed by the situation. He was very composed,” Prasidh told Kolkata Knight Riders website on the eve of the second one-dayer in Pune.
Prasidh represents the franchise in the IPL.
“So, I think that’s the first thing I picked from him, because that’s the most important aspect for you as a bowler when you are you’re playing a game. The most important thing is to remain in the present and stay calm.
“And apart from that, he always spoke about being consistent. So that’s the biggest part of it.”
He got a chance to hone his skills from the Australian legend after being picked for the MRF Pace Academy in Chennai in 2017.
Later, Prasidh also went to Cricket Australia’s Centre...
