When injury-free, Prasidh Krishna can be a menace. And in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, the tall fast bowler is showing that. After taking his second 4-wicket haul in the tournament, Prasidh has bagged the Purple Cap. Facing the Delhi Capitals (DC), the table toppers, and the only team to lose just one match, the pacer stood out.
Prasidh Krishna takes a 4-fer against DC
He outshone Mohammed Siraj and Rashid Khan with ease at the Narendra Modi Stadium, taking the wickets of Karun Nair, KL Rahul, Axar Patel, and Vipraj Nigam. In hot conditions where Ishant Sharma and Axar both struggled physically, Prasidh came steaming in, hit the deck, and got wickets whenever Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill handed him the ball.
