Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Prasanna's best days came after he returned in 1967. Under the late MAK Pataudi, Prasanna developed as a lethal bowler who could take wickets on any track. Prasanna had terrific control over his flight and had the ability to defeat the batsmen in the air, and was often unplayable in the dusty sub continent pitches. The spin quartet enjoyed tremendous success in the 1970s, but a ll 4 played together in only 1 match, as either Prasanna or Venkataraghavan would be left out due to zonal politics. Prasanna retired after a tour of Pakistan in 1978, a series which also saw the decline of Bedi and Chandrasekhar.
Prasanna twice led his state Karnataka to Ranji trophy titles, and was instrumental in ending Bombay's (now Mumbai) 15 year reign. He joined the rebel Indian Cricket League in 2007, but took amnesty when the BCCI offered it in the year 2009. He even wrote an autobiography titled \"One More Over\".

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Pras was like a chess player in the guise of an offspinner: his victims had often been out-thought before the ball had been delivered. A bowler who had complete mastery over flight, he was difficult to play even on good pitches. Many a bat was lured to his doom, lunging out to hit the half-volley, only to find it pitching a foot shorter than expected. His arm ball was a floater
that drifted, and occasionally wobbled, in the air. After playing a few Tests in 1961-62, Pras decided to finish his undergraduate studies, and was absent from the Test scene for five years. Returning in 1967, he promptly became Pataudi's favourite weapon. In the early '70s, zonal and team politics often led to him being dropped in favour of Venkataraghavan. He retired in 1978, after a tour to Pakistan which also led to the demise of Bedi and Chandrasekhar. He twice led Karnataka to the Ranji Trophy, the first time ending Bombay's 15-year hegemony. Widely respected and feared in domestic cricket as well, he enjoyed bowling to bats that were willing to try and hit him. A bowler with an attacking mindset, he was also patient, and would bait a bat for over after over, trying to induce a mistake. Prasanna went on to join the ICL in 2007 as a match referee, but took the amnesty offer from the BCCI by snapping ties with the unsanctioned league in 2009.
