IND vs ENG: The second match of the five-match Test series between India and England will be played at Edgbaston in Birmingham from July 2. After losing the first Test in Leeds, the Indian team will be eyeing to level the series by winning the second Test. However, there are also reports in media reports that Jasprit Bumrah will not play the second match.
If Team India was able to compete with England in the first Test, then Bumrah's role was important in it. He helped wrap up England's innings quickly by taking five wickets in the first innings. Apart from him, the rest of the Indian fast bowlers did not look effective. Siraj took two wickets in both innings, while Prasidh Krishna took five wickets in both innings, but his economy rate was very poor. His economy rate in both innings was 6.28. With this, he made a place in an unwanted list.
In the first innings, Prasidh Krishna bowled 20 overs and took three wickets for 128 runs. During this his economy rate was 6.40. At the same time, in the second innings, he bowled 15 overs and took two wickets for 92 runs. During this his economy rate was 6.10.

Overall, Prasidh Krishna's economy rate of 6.28 in the Leeds Test is the third-worst economy rate in a single Test. It includes those bowlers who have bowled at least 35 overs in both innings of a Test.
Pakistan's Zahid Mahmood tops this list. He bowled at an economy rate of 7.25 in the Rawalpindi Test against England in 2022. At the same time, Imran Tahir is in second place. Tahir bowled with an economy of 7.02 in the Adelaide Oval Test against Australia in 2012. After this comes Prasidh Krishna.
