RR's paceman Prasidh Krishna gave his team a big relief when he dismissed KKR's Aaron Finch who was batting on 58 (27) in an IPL thriller between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday (April 18). Interestingly, after the dismissal, Krishna was seen exchanging words with his former RCB teammate.

Krishna bowled a short pitch delivery wide of the off-stump to lure Finch into a mistimed shot and the plan worked as Finch tried to cut it over deep point for a six only to get dismissed. The Australia white-ball skipper was caught by Karun Nair at deep-point and Rajasthan broke the dangerous partnership of Finch and Shreyas Iyer.

Notably, Prasidh gave a fiery send-off to Finch as both the players were involved in a verbal spat.
