Focus on basics and better execution behind GT's Krishna's run to Purple Cap

|April 28, 2025
When Prasidh Krishna recorded figures of O-41 in his first game of IPL 2025 for his new franchise Gujarat Titans against Punjab Kings, one did feel if this was the start of another tough period for the pacer, who missed 2023 and 2024 seasons due to stress fracture in back and quadriceps injury.

But since then, Prasidh has turned a corner in a brilliant fashion. Such has been the turn-around after that opening game that the tall pacer is now sitting on the top of wicket-takers list in IPL 2025 with 16 scalps in eight games.
Bowling at speeds above 140, Prasidh uses his height to create steep bounce, thus setting him apart in the middle overs. His accurate yorkers and slower ball variations make him a dangerous bowler to negotiate for batters in the back end of an innings.
