Prasidh Krishna named impact player of Sri Lanka Test series

Prasidh Krishna was named the impact player of the series after taking seven wickets in India's 1-0 Test series win over Sri Lanka. The fast bowler credited reserve players and support staff for their efforts behind the scenes.

Krishna took three wickets in Sri Lanka's first-innings total of 290 at the Sinhalese Sports Club. India bowling coach Morne Morkel defended Krishna's hard-length approach after the pacer faced media criticism.

Morkel described Krishna's role as requiring consistent hard lengths and pressure over extended spells. Krishna bowled 18 overs on the opening day and troubled batters with bounce and seam movement.
