	Prasanna played his debut [[Test cricket]] match at [[Madras]] against [[England cricket team\|England]] in 1961. His first overseas tour to the [[West Indies]] was a tough one and he did not play another Test for five years. He left the sport for a period to finish his engineering degree, returning in 1967. He gained a regular place in the side following his excellent performances in [[England]] in 1967.

He gained a regular place in the side following his excellent performances in [[England]] in 1967.

	He retired in 1978, after a tour of [[Pakistan]] which also ~~signalled~~ the decline of [[Bishen Singh Bedi]] and [[Bhagwat Chandrasekhar]]. He twice led [[Karnataka cricket team\|Karnataka]] to the [[Ranji Trophy]], the first time ending [[Mumbai cricket team\|Bombay]]'s 15-year reign. Prasanna was highly successful not only on Indian turning wickets, but on foreign pitches too. He achieved the record of fastest 100 wickets in Tests for an Indian Bowler (in 20 Tests) at his time. His record was broken by [[Ravichandran Ashwin]] .		He retired in 1978, after a tour of [[Pakistan]] which also signaled the decline of [[Bishen Singh Bedi]] and [[Bhagwat Chandrasekhar]].

His record was broken by [[Ravichandran Ashwin]] .

	Widely respected and feared in domestic cricket as well, he enjoyed bowling to batsmen that were willing to try to hit him. He had a neat, brisk, high action and marvellous control of line, length, and flight. He spun the ball in a classic high loop towards the batsman, increasing his chances of beating his adversary in the air. As a result, he made the ball bounce higher than expected. A bowler with an attacking mindset, he was also patient, and would bait a batsman for over after over, attempting to induce a mistake.

'''Erapalli Anantharao Srinivas Prasanna''' {{audio|E._A._S._Prasanna.ogg|pronunciation}} (born 22 May 1940) is a former Indian [[cricket]] player. He was a [[spin bowling|spin bowler]], specializing in [[off spin]] and a member of the [[Indian spin quartet]]. He is an alumnus of [[National Institute of Engineering]], Mysore.

==Career==
{{BLP unsourced section|date=April 2019}}
Prasanna played his debut [[Test cricket]] match at [[Madras]] against [[England cricket team|England]] in 1961. His first overseas tour to the [[West Indies]] was a tough one and he did not play another Test for five years. He left the sport for a period to finish his engineering degree, returning in 1967. He gained a regular place in the side following his excellent performances in [[England]] in 1967.

He retired in 1978, after a tour of [[Pakistan]] which also signalled the decline of [[Bishen Singh Bedi]] and [[Bhagwat Chandrasekhar]]. He twice led [[Karnataka cricket team|Karnataka]] to the [[Ranji Trophy]], the first time ending [[Mumbai cricket team|Bombay]]'s 15-year reign. Prasanna was highly successful not only on Indian turning wickets, but on foreign pitches too. He achieved the record of fastest 100 wickets in Tests for an Indian Bowler (in 20 Tests) at his time. His record was broken by [[Ravichandran Ashwin]] .

Widely respected and feared in domestic cricket as well, he enjoyed bowling to batsmen that were willing to try to hit him. He had a neat, brisk, high action and marvellous control of line, length, and flight. He spun the ball in a classic high loop towards the batsman, increasing his chances of beating his adversary in the air. As a result, he made the ball bounce higher than expected. A bowler with an attacking mindset, he was also patient, and would bait a batsman for over after over, attempting to induce a mistake.

He has written an autobiography, ''One More Over''.
