Prasidh Krishna will miss the final ODI against West Indies after a hamstring strain, wiping out India’s perfect bowling line‑up for the last match.
In the opening match in Guwahati, the fast bowler delivered 5 overs for 45 runs, taking just one wicket, before he had to leave the field for the second time.
The injury forced India to slot in part‑timer Naman Dhir, who had already cramp‑walked out earlier; his 6.1 overs added a frantic rhythm to a shaky attack.
Coach Sitanshu Kotak confirmed the hamstring strain, saying the player will undergo further assessment at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
With the T20I series on the horizon, Prasidh’s absence opens the door for Mohammed Siraj or all‑rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy to step up, while India braces for the New Zealand tour.
India’s squad will now test a reshuffled bowling attack in the last ODI; the next challenge is the T20I series starting on Oct 6.
