Prasidh\u2019s sharp new\u2011ball burst, where he found swing, seam, and extra bounce, reduced Afghanistan to 36\/4 in the first ten overs, before Hashmatullah Shahidi (102) and Azmatullah Omarzai (50) rebuilt with a 105\u2011run stand. The visitors eventually folded for 218, losing their last five wickets for just 20 runs, as Prasidh took out Shahidi to end up with 5-23.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI've got it in my pocket right now, but really happy to be coming in on a hot day, bowling that well, helping the team, so pretty happy now,\u201d said Prasidh in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was a spell to remember for Prasidh as he joined the likes of Manoj Prabhakar and Mohammed Shami as Indian bowlers to dismiss each of the opposition\u2019s top five in an ODI. His figures also entered the record books as the best by any bowler in ODIs at Chennai, surpassing West Indies pacer Ravi Rampaul\u2019s 5-51 in 2011.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The right\u2011arm quick also admitted the conditions at Chepauk were draining. \u201cNo, honestly, I was really, really tired. It was pretty hot, but no complaints. I did end up bowling the fifth one, got the fourth wicket there. But the more important thing for us is to turn up on a hot day to put out that performance on the field, really good.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
