Prasidh Krishna was among India's top performers in the recently-concluded series against Ireland. The pacer, who was playing his first international series after recovering from an injury, picked up four wickets.

His successful comeback has earned Krishna a spot in India's squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, scheduled to commence later this month.

Reflecting on his impressive performance against Ireland, Krishna attributed a significant portion of his success to the guidance he received from Jasprit Bumrah at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. During their shared rehabilitation period, Krishna specifically honed his ability to maintain composure under Bumrah's tutelage.

"Working closely with Bumrah during our recovery at the NCA has definitely been enriching. His method of executing under pressure and his ability to keep things straightforward on numerous occasions is inspiring. We've learned a lot from each other, and our partnership is already yielding results," the 27-year-old told Jio Cinema.

While elaborating on his rehab period at the NCA, Krishna mentioned that, before resuming bowling practice in the nets, he was instructed to prioritize his overall well-being.

"Our sessions at the NCA were thoroughly productive. The clarity we maintained and the regular assessment of our physical and mental fitness helped us in achieving our rehabilitation goals. We initially concentrated on promoting overall well-being before transitioning into bowling practice. This approach ensured a steady recovery and helped in preparing us for match conditions."

The Rajasthan Royals fast bowler was ruled out of IPL 2023 with a lumbar stress fracture for which he later underwent a surgery. He will next be seen in action in the Asia Cup, which begins on August 30.

India are scheduled to begin their campaign in the tournament against arch-rivals Pakistan on September 2 in Kandy. Krishna has so far played 14 ODIs and two T20Is for India, from which he has 29 wickets combined.
