For Prasidh Krishna he said, Nehra adjusted his bowling length to suit his height and natural bounce. On red soil pitches, Krishna was instructed to target a 4.5-meter length, while on black soil, the length was extended to 5-6 meters. On his relationship with Ashish Nehra he described their bond as informal and enduring.
