Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styria praised the young fast bowler and stated that Prasad Krishna is brilliant when it comes to bowling with the new ball.
"He's brilliant with a new ball in his hand. The question about Prasad Krishna is at the death. We've seen him in the Indian T20 league. He has gone around the park when trying to bowl Yonkers and when he is under pressure. So, he's great at the front. I think the next 12 months are big for his development. Can he nail the back half of the innings? If he does that, I'll actually have him on my side," Scott Styria said on Sports 18's daily show 'Sports Over The Top'.
