The Indian bowlers had a match as England took a 1-0 lead in the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy by defeating the Shubman Gill-led side at the Headingley Cricket Stadium in Leeds by chasing the mammoth of 371, which is the second-highest that has been chased against India in history.

One player whose performance has come into question despite him getting five wickets in the match, with three scalps in the first innings and two more in the second innings, is Prasidh Krishna. The 2025 Indian Premier League's (IPL) purple cap winner was given the vote of confidence by the team mangaement and chosen ahead of Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh in the playing XI to partner Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj in the pace attack.

In the first innings, Krishna gave away 128 runs in 20 overs at an economy of 6.40, which are the worst figures by an Indian bowler, which is the most expensive spell by an Indian, who bowled a minimum of 20 overs in an innings. However, he got the wickets of Ollie Pope, Harry Brook, and Jamie Smith.

In the second innings, Prasidh gave India hope with the wickets of Zak Crawley and Pope in quick succession but he once again had an economy rate above six (6.10) while conceding 92 runs in 15 overs.

Overall, Prasidh conceded 220 runs in the match at an economy of 6.28. Among the 517 bowlers in test cricket history to concede more than 200 runs in a match over both innings, Prasidh's economy rate is the fourth worst behind only Zahir Mohammed (7.25 vs England, 2022), Imran Tahir (7.02 vs Australia, 2012), and Nahid Rana (vs Sri Lanka, 2024).

Moreover, Prasidh became the first bowler in Test cricket history to give away more than 90 runs in both innings at an economy rate of more than six.

Overall, there have been 61 such instances in the longest format, but no bowler has done it twice in the same match.

Robert Willis, Yasir Shah, Chamika Kumara, and Alzarri Joseph also have two spells where they conceded 90+ runs at an economy rate higher than 60 but they came in different matches.
