Indian team has found the solution to bowl better in 'dew', Prasidh Krishna told how bowlers practice for this
Indian team's fast bowler Prasidh Krishna made a big disclosure and said that the bowlers of his team make a special kind of preparation in case of dealing with dew. The fast bowler admitted that it is not easy to bowl in an international match when there is dew on the field. The Indian team had to bowl in the second innings of the second T20 International match against Australia.
Indian team's fast bowler Prasidh Krishna admitted that his team's bowlers do different exercises to deal with dew. Krishna said that to bowl in dew-like conditions, Indian bowlers try to bowl by soaking the ball in water.
The fast bowler also said that bowling becomes very painful due to dew. Recall that the Indian team took a 2-0 lead in the series by defeating Australia by 44 runs in the second T20 International match on Sunday. The Indian team batted first and scored 235/4 in 20 overs and then restricted Australia to 191/9.
Prasidh Krishna said that it was difficult to bowl in the second innings because dew had come at the beginning of the innings. When asked whether bowlers practice to deal with such situations, Krishna gave a strong answer.
We bowl by soaking the ball in water. We practice this continuously. But then the pressure and the whole aspect of the game comes to the fore. When you are in a match, you sweat. The towel you use becomes wet. I took a fresh towel after I finished my third over. Then the towel got wet on the second ball of the fourth over. You can't do much then. But when there is a match, things become different.
Even though the conditions were not conducive for the bowlers, right-arm fast bowler Prasidh Krishna was impressed with his performance. Prasidh Krishna took three wickets for 41 runs in 4 overs in the second T20 International match against Australia.
Yes, the situation becomes different in dew. We did not get much dew in Visakhapatnam. But the ground here was very wet. In the sixth over, Mukesh Kumar was telling me that a lot of dew was falling. This is part of the game. We have to get used to dealing with it.
