India pacer Prasidh Krishna heaped praise on Jasprit Bumrah as he shared his learnings from the ace speedster during their rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy(NCA) in Bengaluru. The two speedsters recently made an international comeback after a long injury layoff and showed a lot of promise in the just-concluded three-match T20I series between a second-stringed India, led by Bumrah, and hosts Ireland in Dublin.Speaking about his performance, Krishna pointed out the support he received from Bumrah during their rehabilitation timeat the NCA.

Commenting on his bond with Bumrah, Krishna told JioCinema, "Working closely with Bumrah during our recovery at the NCA has definitely been enriching. His method of executing under pressure and his ability to keep things straightforward on numerous occasions is inspiring. We've learned a lot from each other, and our partnership is already yielding results."

Krishna also highlighted the key areas that he focused on during his recovery period at the NCA. In this regard, the 27-year-old Krishna added, "Our sessions at the NCA were thoroughly productive. The clarity we maintained and the regular assessment of our physical and mental fitness helped us achieve our rehabilitation goals. We initially concentrated on promoting overall well-being before transitioning into bowling practice. This approach ensured a steady recovery and helped in preparing us for match conditions."
