"We trust each other and tell one another if someone is not on the right track" - Prasidh Krishna after stumps on Day 2 of 5th ENG vs IND 2025 Test

Speaking after stumps on the second day of the fifth Test, Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna opened up their thought process and planning after England started aggressively with the bat in their first innings. He stated that they regrouped after the lunch break and communicated well to bring things back under control. Prasidh said:

"As a team, we knew what happened before lunch. The three fast bowlers, we got together in a small corner and said, what's happened has happened. All of us know what we need to be doing. We trust each other and tell one another if someone is not on the right track. We spoke about the same thing."

On his on-field exchange with Joe Root, Krishna added:

"That was the plan. But I didn't expect the couple of words that I said to get such a big reaction from him. But, I love the guy that he is. He is a legend of the game and it great when two people are out there wanting to do their best."
