There's no particular number in mind: Prasidh Krishna reflects on SCG track
The Statesman Delhi|January 05, 2025
Acknowledging the inconsistency of the surface at the Sydney Cricket Ground, India pacer Prasidh Krishna said there is no particular target in mind after his team ended up with an overall lead of 145 with four wickets in their bag after the second day's play in the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Saturday.

Going by stats, there have been only three successful fourth-innings run chases of 150-plus at the SCG in the past 25 years, and India's overall lead of 145 on this treacherous surface could be worth at least twice its face value. "As many runs as possible would be great for us because we don't really know what the wicket is behaving like. It's going up, it's going down. If you can be aggressive, there is risk involved, but you get a reward of runs. But yeah, there's no particular number in mind, but then as many runs as we score would be great," Prasidh said at the end of the day's play.

"Actually it is getting difficult in some areas. The ball is keeping low sometimes, but there is enough bounce for us to be in the game and look for those edges and try and beat them on either side of the bat," he added.
