IPL 2022: RR’s Prasidh Krishna recalls hilarious reaction after meeting Lasith Malinga for first time; watch – Firstcricket News, Firstpost

Rajasthan Royals pacer Prasidh Krishna has impressed fans with his performance in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. The pacer scalped three wickets and gave a maiden over in the match against Delhi Capitals recently.

One of the major reasons for the improvement in the pacer’s performance is the presence of former Sri Lankan captain Lasith Malinga. The IPL legend, who is the second-highest wicket-taker in the history of the league, has joined the Royals as a fast-bowling mentor.

In the clip, Krishna is seen sharing an entertaining story about what happened when he met the Sri Lankan star player for the first time. The pacer’s story about his reaction after meeting Malinga left everyone in splits.

“(After) The first meeting I had with Lasith. The next thing I told Karun and Devdutt, that ‘I am going to marry this guy’, Krishna says while others can be heard laughing loud. He further adds that Malinga is a very interesting guy, while the promo fades to black.
