Prasidh Krishna has been making rounds in domestic cricket for a while now and he is rated highly by Indian skipper Virat Kohli. Krishna made his ODI debut for India against England this year and was impressed with his pace and accuracy.

However, test cricket is a completely different ball game and the Karnataka pacer is glad that he got to be a part of the Indian contingent against England. He believes bowling against different batsmen in England has helped him improve as a bowler.

"I have been playing red-ball cricket after almost one and a half years. Coming here and bowling against the best in the country, there is nothing like it. You are challenged every single day," Prasidh Krishna stated.

India are due to take on England in the upcoming 5-match Test series starting on 4th August. The Indian test team has been camping in England for the last month and a half.

Virat Kohli led the test team in the Rose Bowl in Southampton last month against New Zealand in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. India fell short as New Zealand became the first team to win the test championship.

The Indian team preferred to stay back in England in order to prepare for the upcoming series against England, and also to avoid the hassle of multiple bio-bubbles due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, a second Indian team is currently playing in Sri Lanka in a white-ball series against the Islanders. Led by Shikhar Dhawan, the second team has won both their ODI matches so far.

The third and final one-day international is set to start at 3 pm today. India has already clinched the series and will be trying to win today's match to complete a clean sweep in the one-day series.

They will take on Sri Lanka next in a 3-match T20I series in order to prepare for the upcoming T20I World Cup scheduled to take place later this year.
