By Shubham Shah December 08, 2020 • 18:01 PM View: 408

Erapalli Anantharao Srinivas Prasanna, usually known as Erapalli Prasanna is a former Indian off-spinner and a right-handed batsman. Prasanna liked to out wit the batsmen by showing his complete mastery over the flight and had many a trick up his sleeves which would leave the opposition batsmen mesmerized. He along with Srinivas Venkataraghavan, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar and Bishen Singh Bedi formed the famed spin quartet of the 70’s taking 853 wickets between them over a span of 231 test matches.

He was one of the most difficult off-spin bowlers to play even at good pitches, and was considered to be a cricket player with the prowess of a chess grandmaster, owing to his mysteriously deceptive bowling.
