Sanjay Bangar says Prasidh Krishna’s emergence was India’s biggest takeaway from 2025 ENG vs IND Test series

Former Indian all-rounder Sanjay Bangar believes Prasidh Krishna’s emergence was India’s biggest takeaway from the Anderson-Tendulkar series against England. Krishna was able to deliver in the last Test match at the Kennington Oval, London, after failing to grab his opportunity in the first two Test matches.

Krishna took a total of 14 wickets in three Test matches at an average of 37.07. The fast bowler returned with figures of 4-62 in the first innings at the Oval. Subsequently, Krishna then bagged 4-126 in the second innings. The fast bowler also got the big wicket of a well-settled Joe Root in the second dig to help India get back in the contest.

Sanjay Bangar said on ESPN Cricinfo, “The emergence of Prasidh Krishna because that also gives you a bit of a comfort that if at all India doesn’t have the services of a Siraj or Bumrah, you still have two bowlers capable of running through sides and causing enough problems even on Indian pitches.”

On the other hand, Bangar also opened up on Jasprit Bumrah’s workload. Bumrah played the first, third and the fourth Test match against England. Bangar said it would make sense if Bumrah plays first three Test matches on the bounce and then rest.

“Jasprit Bumrah is invaluable to the T20 setup of the current team and the World Cup is just around the corner. So the team management making the decisions will also have a mid-term view of how to utilize him across formats, which is not the case with Mohammed Siraj,” said Bangar.

“If it’s a five-Test series and Bumrah is going to be available for three Tests, going forward, the learning for the team management would be to play him three in a row and then rest him totally,” he added.

The former Indian batting coach said it is not important for Bumrah to play all the T20 matches before next year’s World Cup.

“But since they won’t encounter such a scenario for the rest of this WTC cycle, whatever workload management has had to happen with Jasprit Bumrah has already happened. So this question won’t come up till the end of this WTC cycle. He also needn’t play all the T20 matches in the build-up to the World Cup.”

India would next take part in the Asia Cup.
