It's tough being a fast bowler as injury setbacks are a part of a career you have chosen. And Prasidh Krishna has had more than his share of setbacks.
MUMBAI:
His progress with the India team has regularly been interrupted by injuries. He also missed the last two editions of the IPL after suffering a stress fracture of the back in 2022 and a quadriceps injury in 2024.
Given his tough run, it was quite impressive to see him make a strong return to the tournament. Playing his first IPL after 2022, which was his best picking 19 wickets in 17 games for Rajasthan Royals, he is having a dream run with 14 wickets already in seven games for his new side, Gujarat Titans.
While he had started the tournament well, the real test was expected to be on Saturday, against Delhi Capitals, who have been on a roll this season and occupied the top spot with 10 points going into the game against GT.
