'''Bapu Krishnarao Venkatesh Prasad''' ({{audio|Venkatesh_Prasad.ogg|pronunciation}}; born 5 August 1969),<ref>{{cite web | title=Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Venkatesh Prasad | url=http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/india/content/player/32345.html | access-date=2008-08-29}}</ref> is a former Indian [[cricket]]er, who played Tests and ODIs. He made his debut in 1994. Primarily a right-arm medium-fast bowler, Prasad was noted for his bowling combination with [[Javagal Srinath]].

He is the bowling coach for [[Kings XI Punjab]] in the [[Indian Premier League]], having formerly performed the same role for the [[Indian cricket team]] from 2007 to 2009.

He currently serves as Deputy General Manager for [[Canara Bank]].

==Early life and education==
He has a post graduate certificate from [[University of London]].{{fact|date=February 2021}}
Bachelor of Engineering from MSRIT.

==International career==
Prasad took 96 wickets from 33 Tests at an average of 35, and 196 wickets from 161 ODIs at an average of 32.30. Prasad was more effective on wickets that helped seam bowling even though his best Test bowling figures of 6 for 33, achieved against [[Pakistan]] in the 1999 Test series in [[India]], came on a docile pitch in [[Chennai]]; these figures included a spell of bowling in which he took 5 wickets for 0 runs. Notably, he once took 10 wickets in a Test match in [[Durban]], [[South Africa]], in December 1996. It remains his only ten-wicket haul in Test cricket. Prasad also took five-wicket hauls in [[England]], in 1996, in [[Sri Lanka]], in 2001, and in the West Indies, in 1997. In the 1996/97 season, he took 55 wickets in 15 Tests and 48 wickets in 30 ODIs. For the period, he was named the CEAT International Cricketer of the Year.<ref>{{cite web|title=International Award for Prasad|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/Storyold/3802/|work=The Indian Express|access-date=9 February 2017|date=15 June 1997}}</ref> He received the [[Arjuna Award]] in 2000. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/players/350-venkatesh-prasad-playerprofile|title = Venkatesh Prasad Profile |work=NDTV|access-date=12 July 2020}}</ref>

Prasad played his final Test match in [[Sri Lanka]] in 2001. One of his finest moments came in [[1996 Cricket World Cup]] when after being hit for a boundary and openly [[Sledging (cricket)|sledged]] by Pakistan batsman [[Aamir Sohail]]. On the very next ball, Sohail was clean bowled by Prasad which was a key turning point of the match leading towards India winning eventually. Prasad was known for his slow leg cutters and was one of its first proponents in world cricket.<ref>{{cite news | title=Times Of India Cricket - Veterans relive Indo-Pak battles | url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com//articleshow/1696033.cms | access-date=2007-02-27 | work=[[The Times Of India]]}}</ref>

==Injury and late career==
Prasad struggled with injuries and dipping form towards the end of his career. He was dropped from the Indian team after the 2001 test series in [[Sri Lanka]]. Prasad tried unsuccessfully to make a comeback after that before retiring from all forms of cricket in May 2005, having secured two [[Ranji Trophy]] championships with [[Karnataka]].{{Clarify|date=May 2016}} He was made coach of the India Under-19 Cricket team in January. He was the coach of the U-19 team that finished runners-up in the [[2006 U-19 Cricket World Cup]].

==Coaching career==
After the disappointing performance of the Indian Team in [[2007 Cricket World Cup|World Cup 2007]], Prasad was appointed as the bowling coach of the team for the Bangladesh Tour in May. It was his return to the Indian team after a span of 3 years. On 15 October 2009, Venkatesh Prasad and fielding coach [[Robin Singh (cricketer, born 1963)|Robin Singh]] were sacked by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]], which did not give any reasons for the unceremonious dumping.<ref>{{cite web | title=BCCI sacks Venkatesh Prasad and Robin Singh | url=http://cricket.ndtv.com/cricket/ndtvcricket/storypage/ndtv/id/spoen20090112572/BCCI_sacks_Venkatesh_Prasad_and_Robin_Singh.html | access-date=2009-10-15}}</ref>

He was appointed as bowling coach for [[Kings XI Punjab]]. He was also the coach of [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] during their inaugural season in 2008.

==Personal life==
His mother tongue is [[Kannada]].<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Giridhar|first1=S.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FIJoDwAAQBAJ&q=venkatesh+prasad+mother+tongue&pg=PA167|title=From Mumbai to Durban: India's Greatest Tests|last2=Raghunath|first2=V.
