As the Indian Premier League 2025 season continues to captivate fans around the world, one name that has quickly risen to the top of the bowling charts is Prasidh Krishna. With 14 wickets in just seven innings, the tall and fiery pacer has stormed his way to the top of the wicket-takers list, leading the race with consistency, aggression, and precision.
Representing the Gujarat Titans this season, Prasidh has not just found form — he has become a match-winner with the ball. After a few years of dealing with injuries and sporadic form, 2025 has so far been a redemption arc for the Karnataka speedster. His performances have brought immense value to Gujarat’s bowling attack, especially in tight situations when breakthroughs were urgently needed. Whether it’s with the new ball in the powerplay or at the death, Prasidh has delivered under pressure with admirable calm.
What’s impressed most about his bowling this season is the control he has exhibited. His lines have been fuller, more threatening, and he’s added subtle variations to keep batters guessing. A significant part of his success can be attributed to his pace and bounce, which have troubled top-order batters across teams. In a tournament filled with explosive hitters and aggressive intent, Krishna has been a standout in using his height and discipline to extract movement off the surface.
His standout spells include key performances against some of the tournament’s strongest batting line-ups. In matches where others leaked runs, Prasidh held his nerve, maintained tight lengths, and took out set batters at crucial stages. His ability to bowl in partnerships with Gujarat’s other pacers has also played a role in building pressure from both ends. It’s clear that he’s become not just a strike bowler but a leader within the Titans’ bowling group.
The journey back to the top hasn’t been easy for Prasidh. A stress fracture kept him out of cricket for several months, and his return to competitive cricket required immense patience and rehabilitation. But his resurgence in IPL 2025 is a testament to his determination and work ethic. Not only has he regained his rhythm, but he also seems to be bowling smarter and with more maturity than ever before.
With the league stage heating up, all eyes will be on whether Prasidh can maintain his form and finish the season as the Purple Cap holder. Given his current rhythm and confidence, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him push the bar even higher in the coming matches. His performances could also spark conversations about a return to India’s white-ball setup, especially with ICC tournaments looming on the horizon.
For now, Prasidh Krishna is enjoying the limelight he has earned. From battling setbacks to becoming the most prolific wicket-taker in the league, his IPL 2025 journey is fast becoming one of the most inspiring stories of the season.
