PUNE: Former Australia pacer Glenn McGrath on Wednesday congratulated pacer Prasidh Krishna on making his dream ODI debut for India against England in the series-opener on Tuesday.
McGrath had worked on honing Prasidh’s skills at the MRF Pace Academy in Chennai back in 2017. Prasidh, who also went to the CA Centre of Excellence in Brisbane in 2019 as part of MRF Pace Foundation’s MoU with Cricket Australia, was overwhelmed by his mentor’s appreciation post.
“The difference he made was to bring in that aura of calmness and also he was very specific about the line and length with respect to different pitches. He always spoke of being consistent. The first thing I picked from him was to remain in the present under all circumstances” Kolkata Knight Riders official website quoted Prasidh.
