Prasidh registered his maiden ODI five-wicket haul with outstanding figures of 5-23 in nine overs, ripping through Afghanistan\u2019s top order and reducing them to 36\/4. His efforts laid the foundation for India\u2019s comfortable win before Yashasvi Jaiswal\u2019s unbeaten 110 and Rohit Sharma\u2019s 79 helped the hosts chase down 219 with ease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThat is the beauty of Indian cricket, there are always replacements ready, and I think Prasidh Krishna could be at a turning point in his career. He has been in and out of the side, and he went wicketless in the first ODI and didn\u2019t play the second game either,\u201d Gavaskar told Jio Hotstar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIn the third ODI, he bowled fuller lengths and made the ball work. He got the new ball, which is rare for him. In this game, with the new ball in hand, he used it well. He read the pitch well; there was carry and a bit of zip. That is what you need to do as a fast bowler.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The former India captain said Prasidh\u2019s attacking mindset was evident throughout his opening spell, which dismantled Afghanistan\u2019s top order. \"In his heart, he is an attacking bowler. Fast bowlers love to make batters uncomfortable, make them hop and weave. That is where they get their joy. Earlier, he was bowling too short and getting punished. But now he is pitching it up, getting movement, and taking wickets. That is the change that has made the difference,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

India then made light work of the chase as Jaiswal struck his second ODI century in just three innings and shared a 170-run opening stand with Rohit, helping the hosts seal a comprehensive victory and their first ODI series triumph under captain Shubman Gill.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
