Prasidh Krishna delivered a stunning delivery to dismiss Alex Carey, bringing much-needed relief to the Indian cricket team in the ongoing New Year’s Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in Sydney.
With Jasprit Bumrah off the field and Alex Carey and Beau Webster’s partnership causing frustration on Day 2, 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 wobbled off the seam. Carey left a wide gap between his bat and pad while attempting a defensive shot, allowing the ball to sneak through and crash into the top of the off-stump.
The Indian crowd and the players erupted in joy as Krishna celebrated the wicket that broke the 41-run stand between the Australian debutant Beau Webster and wicketkeeper Alex Carey in the ongoing Sydney Test. Carey had to return back to the pavilion after scoring 21 off 36 balls, including four boundaries.
