In a thrilling showdown at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Gujarat Titans (GT) spearhead Prasidh Krishna reclaimed the coveted Purple Cap in IPL 2025 with a masterclass performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). GT dominated the contest, securing a commanding 38-run victory after posting a mammoth total of 224/6 in their allotted 20 overs. This crucial win propelled GT to the second spot on the IPL points table, amassing 14 points from 10 matches and inching closer to playoff qualification.
Prasidh Krishna was the linchpin of GT’s success, delivering a spellbinding performance that yielded two wickets for just 19 runs in his four overs. His fiery pace and pinpoint accuracy kept SRH’s batters at bay, maintaining an exceptional economy rate of 4.75. The pacer’s scalps included the dangerous Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen, strikes that dismantled SRH’s batting spine and ensured GT’s grip on the game never loosened.
“Purple Cap Feels Like Business as Usual” – Prasidh Krishna
With this stellar display, Prasidh now leads the Purple Cap race with 19 wickets in 10 matches, reaffirming his status as one of the tournament’s standout performers. Named Player of the Match, the speedster remained grounded during the post-match presentation. “The Purple Cap doesn’t feel any different. Winning was the priority. We’ve had two long breaks, so sealing a victory at home was crucial,” he remarked.
Reflecting on his preparation, Prasidh added, “My length control has been consistent, and I owe a lot to the team’s support for where I am today. My pre-match routine involves simulating match scenarios in the nets. On game day, I analyze the first innings closely if we’re bowling second, gather insights from experienced players, and then focus on hitting the right areas. I even tinker with a red ball in my room, though it hasn’t made it to the ground yet. Right now, my focus is solely on this tournament. We’ll see what comes next.”
