In a high-octane clash against the Rajasthan Royals, the Gujarat Titans found themselves in dire need of a hero when Shimron Hetmyer was wreaking havoc with the bat. Enter Prasidh Krishna, the former KKR pacer, who stepped up magnificently to deliver a game-changing performance. With an impressive 3/24, Krishna not only turned the tide in GT’s favor but also etched his name as one of the standout bowlers of IPL 2025. His consistency this season has been nothing short of remarkable – from 2/18 against Mumbai Indians to 2/25 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and now this stellar show against RR.
While Chennai Super Kings’ Noor Ahmad currently leads the Purple Cap race with 11 wickets, Prasidh is hot on his heels, sharing the ninth spot with RCB’s Josh Hazlewood and GT’s Sai Kishore, each with 8 wickets to their name. Krishna’s rise has been meteoric, and his ability to deliver under pressure is proving to be a game-changer for Gujarat Titans.
Prasidh Krishna’s Masterclass: A Three-Fer to Remember
Prasidh’s spell against RR was a masterclass in precision and control. With an economy rate of 7.05 across five matches, he’s been a linchpin in GT’s bowling attack. The seamer struck early, dismissing RR skipper Sanju Samson with a catch by Sai Kishore. He then removed the dangerous Hetmyer, again with Kishore’s assistance, before claiming Jofra Archer’s wicket, courtesy of a sharp catch by skipper Shubman Gill.
These crucial breakthroughs dismantled RR’s batting lineup, paving the way for Gujarat Titans’ emphatic 58-run victory. With this win, GT has soared to the top of the points table, and Krishna’s fiery spells are proving to be the cornerstone of their campaign. If they are to maintain their dominance, performances like these from Prasidh will be invaluable.
