Speedster Prasidh Krishan said on Friday there was very little room for error for bowlers on challenging terrain as India’s attack collapsed to England’s onslaught in the second ODI.
Chasing a challenging goal of 336, Jonny Bairstow (124 of 112) and Ben Stokes (99 of 52) killed the Indian bowlers, adding 175 runs of 117 balls as England accelerated the total by just 43.3 overs for a six-point win. land.
“It was a very good field to hit, without a doubt. We scored 330 or more and they chased him at 44th. Says it all, ”said Prasidh, who returned with figures of 2/58, during the post-match press conference.
“It was a flat wicket, a challenging wicket for bowlers where the margin of error was very, very less … It was a lunge, we got hit pretty bad.”
Defending the total, the Indian bowlers looked clueless as England went 285-to-one in 35.1 overs. 87 mind-blowing runs were scored between the 31-35 with Stokes and Bairstow sharing 17 sixes between them.
“We had a plan, we talked about how they were doing it. We did our best when we bowled. There were a couple of chances that could have worked in our favor, but we must give them credit for the way they played, ”said Prasidh.
“We should give them credit, but 100 percent there is also room for improvement for our bowlers.”
Prasidh, who has just played his second ODI, exudes confidence that his team will recover as it did in the first ODI.
“That is the game of white ball cricket today. With four out for the 11 to 40 overs, that’s going to happen. I know that we are going to recover stronger.
“It was the same situation last game, we came back and got a great result,” added the Karnataka sprinter.
Prasidh was also asked about Stokes’ possible ‘departure’ at 26, which was not given by the referees.
“We are not the ones here to make decisions, the right person was sitting there and I think all he did was all he could do. We are nobody to comment on that, “he concluded.
