Prasidh is not part of the five-match T20I series that follows the ODIs and will begin in Lucknow on Oct 6, and thus he has some time to recover. However, considering the fine form that he has been in the last few months, India would hope that Prasidh recovers from the injury well in time before their upcoming tour of New Zealand, which starts with the opening T20I on Oct 22. The Indian team is set to fly out of Guwahati on Thursday, but Prasidh will instead fly to Bengaluru and report to the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence, where he will undergo treatment for his injury.
India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak confirmed after the match that Prasidh was dealing with a hamstring strain and would undergo further assessment. “Prasidh Krishna has a strain in the hamstring, he is being monitored. They will do scans and we will have an update by tomorrow evening,” Kotak said.
