Prasidh Krishna delivered a stunning decision to dismiss Alex Carey, bringing much-needed relief to the Indian cricket team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 New Year Test against Australia at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in Sydney.
With Jasprit Bumrah out and the partnership of Alex Carey and Beau Webster causing frustration on day two, Prasidh Krishna stepped up just when India needed a breakthrough in the fifth and final Test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

After sticking to shorter deliveries for most of his spell, Prasidh Krishna bowled a slightly fuller ball that swung outside the seam. Carey left a wide gap between his bat and the pad as he attempted a defensive shot, allowing the ball to slip through and hit the top of the off-stump.
The Indian crowd and players erupted in joy as Krishna celebrated a wicket that broke the 41-run stand between Australian debutant Beau Webster and wicketkeeper Alex Carey in the ongoing Sydney Test. Carey had to return to the pavilion after scoring 21 off 36 balls, including four boundary balls.
