Indian right-arm pacer Prasidh Krishna absolutely rattled the stumps to get the wicket of Afghanistan’s opening batter Sediqullah Atal and add more problems to the already miserable visitors who have been pushed to the edge on day 2 of the on-going one-off Test match here at the PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh.

India declared their innings at a mammoth total of 564 at the loss of 8 wickets and Afghanistan needed a strong start to get anywhere closer to the 550+ run mark. However, after a brief stable start, things started to fall back in the visitors’ favor when left-arm off spinner Manav Suthar took the wicket of Abdul Malik for just 16 runs on his debut Test match.

The early pressure was surmounted by Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna and Manav Suthar took full advantage of it in the 6th over. 2 overs later, Krishna rattled the stumps of Sediqullah Atal who had absolutely no answers to the fantastic in swinging delivery which reduced Afghanistan to 40/2.

Atal had made his decision early to punch the ball down but Prasidh Krishna was one step ahead. The right-arm pacer pitched it at the correct length and the ball surprisingly came darting inside and through the Afghanistan opener’s bat and pad.

Whatever momentum that Afghanistan had gained early on in the 2nd innings went in vain with the departures of both the openers. While Abdul Malik got out for 16 off 18, Sediqullah Atal departed for 17 off 27. The visitors have no choice but to bat throughout the whole day in order to get anywhere near 564. The onus is now on the shoulders of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rehmat Shah.
