KL Rahul’s wicket was my favourite: Prasidh Krishna

Prasidh also revealed that the dismissal of Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul is his favourite one from the tournament so far.

“All of these things help you be more confident. And when you’re confident, I think you would want to play as many games as possible and make sure you contribute to your team’s victory, KL Rahul’s wicket was my favourite because I was kind of under the pressure. I was lucky that the ball swung very late and got somebody like KL Rahul,” he said.

"We need to keep enjoying the cricket we’re playing, take responsibility, make smart decisions on the ground, and keep working harder. That’s been our motto, and we’ll continue it through the season."
