Prasidh Krishna Takes Complete Responsibility: Prasidh Krishna takes complete responsibility for conceding 220 runs in India’s five-wicket loss to England in the 1st Test at Headingley on June 24, 2025.
The young pacer struggled with his lengths, giving away 128 runs in 20 overs in the first innings and 92 in 15 overs in the second.
Despite taking five wickets, his economy rate of over 6.0 drew criticism.
Krishna owned his mistakes, saying he aims to improve for the second Test at Edgbaston.

Tough Day at Headingley
Prasidh Krishna takes complete responsibility after England chased 371 to win. His first innings saw him take wickets of Ollie Pope, Harry Brook, and Jamie Smith but concede 128 runs.
In the second, he got Zak Crawley and Pope but struggled with a fast outfield and windy conditions. Hindustan Times reported that his economy was the worst for an Indian bowler in a Test innings of 20+ overs.
Learning from the Loss
Prasidh Krishna takes complete responsibility and is focused on growth. He admitted the Leeds pitch’s slope threw him off, saying, “It took time to adjust, but that’s no excuse.”
He aimed for 6-8 meter lengths but often bowled shorter, leading to boundaries. Krishna told NDTV Sports, “I wanted maidens, not runs.” He’s working with coach Morne Morkel to hit fuller lengths.
Team Support Shines
Prasidh Krishna takes complete responsibility, but coach Gautam Gambhir backed him. Gambhir told Hindustan Times, “Prasidh has what it takes to be a great Test bowler.”
Despite the loss, Krishna said the dressing room stays positive, with players learning from each other. He valued talks with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
Ready for Edgbaston
Prasidh Krishna takes complete responsibility and eyes a comeback in the second Test at Edgbaston on July 2, 2025.
He’s training to fix his lengths and control runs, especially without Bumrah, who may miss the game. Krishna’s five wickets in Leeds show his potential.
