Prasidh Krishna

Prasidh Krishna is a tall, hit-the-deck fast bowler known for his ability to extract steep, disconcerting bounce and generate natural pace, making him a potent weapon in any bowling attack. Born on February 19, 1996, in Bengaluru, Karnataka, he made a memorable splash on the domestic circuit with a five-wicket haul on his first-class debut against Bangladesh A in 2015. His international progression has been marked by his trademark 'skiddy' delivery style, which often troubles batters even on relatively docile surfaces. While his career has been periodically interrupted by injuries—including stress fractures and a quad issue—his resilience has seen him return to represent India across all three formats, establishing himself as a reliable wicket-taker capable of delivering crucial breakthroughs in the middle and death overs.

Currently, Krishna is a pivotal member of the Gujarat Titans in the IPL, where he enjoyed a standout 2025 season as the Purple Cap holder with 25 wickets. His form and experience recently earned him a call-up to the Indian T20I squad as a replacement for Mohammed Siraj for the ongoing 2026 tour of Ireland and England. As India looks to refine its pace battery in the wake of the T20 World Cup, his ability to mix raw speed with disciplined line and length remains central to the team’s strategic plans. With the Ireland series currently underway, selectors and fans are closely monitoring his performance as he aims to solidify his position as a frontline pacer, providing the reliability and experience needed to thrive in high-stakes international T20 environments.
