After producing a match-winning bowling performance in the second ODI against West Indies, India pacer Prasidh Krishna on Wednesday said that receiving a compliment from skipper Rohit Sharma was flattering for him and he is glad to see his hard work yielding results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A gritty fifty by Suryakumar Yadav (64 off 83) followed by a dominant bowling performance from Prasidh Krishna (4\/12) helped India beat West Indies by 44 runs in the second ODI and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series at the Narendra Modi Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Rohit heaped praise on Prasidh Krishna for his heroics with the ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I have never seen a spell like that in India for a long time now. Bowled with a lot of pace and kept it going. The others complimented him," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked about Rohit's comments about him, Prasidh during a virtual press conference said, "That was something flattering for me because he (Rohit) has been playing cricket for a long time. (Praise) Coming from him, I am very happy."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Personally, like I said, I have been putting in yards and trying to do this for quite some time now, so I am glad it happened today," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Talking about his little journey of playing for India, the pacer said that he has been striving to get more consistent since his debut.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It has been almost a year since I made my debut for India. I have been striving to get more consistent since then.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I remember, when I started off, I used to get excited and had too many emotions running through. But over time, we practised together as a team. We have had plans and we have been very clear on what we wanted to work on. And glad it paid off today," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Prasidh also said the Ahmedabad track was favourable for bowlers and that also helped him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
