To put things in perspective, the pacer for the Gujarat Titans (GT) has taken 19 wickets in 10 games. He has tied his highest IPL season total. He took 19 wickets in the 2022 Indian Premier League, however those came from 17 games.
At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, on Friday, May 2, Krishna let up just 19 runs in his four overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). After putting up a target of 225 runs, GT held SRH to 186/6 thanks to the crucial wickets taken by the 29-year-old Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen.
“I have had a good amount of control over the lengths that I have bowled,” Prasidh Krishna stated after earning Player of the Match.
He also talked about the preparations he is making behind the scenes and the support he is receiving from his GT colleagues.
“I believe I have had good control of the length, and the teamwork we have been doing, along with the support of everyone around me, has allowed me to reach this point. Following the game, Krishna was cited as saying, “Yeah, I’m enjoying the way the ball is coming out of the hand.”
“My preparation would start firstly by getting control over what I want to do, get back into the practice, get back in the nets, do exactly what I would do against somebody that I’d be facing in a particular game and then from there, get on game day, look at what the pitch is like,” he continued.
The IPL Purple Cap holder, Krishna, has a strike rate of 12.32 and an average of 15.37 in the 2025 season. At 7.49, he is bowling at an economy rate. In order to plan his strategy when GT bowls second, the Karnataka speedster stated that he always pays close attention to the first innings.
“If you’re bowling second, make sure you observe every ball that someone else throws during the 20 overs and learn as much as you can from them. And many of the folks in my immediate vicinity have played a great deal of cricket. “So just talk to them, try to hit the right spots, and then take it from there,” Prasidh advised.
