After an incredible run of success in the current IPL 2025, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra wants to see Gujarat Titans (GT) spinner Prasidh Krishna included in India’s squad for the June Test series tour of England. Krishna has maintained proper line and lengths, which is quite outstanding. Although he didn’t do well in the opening game, he developed into one of the Shubman Gill-led team’s most reliable bowlers as the tournament went on.
Prasidh Krishna is now the season’s top wicket-taker with an incredible 19 wickets in 10 games.
Since both pacers have performed well in the competition thus far, the IPL 2025 Purple Cap alternates between him and Josh Hazlewood. They are the primary cause of GT’s and Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) second and third-place finishes in the standings.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra expressed his belief that Krishna ought to have the opportunity to display his skills in the UK as well, given that the country’s climate will be ideal for the tall, lanky speedster from Karnataka. The former Indian batsman believes it is about time the spinner get another Test call-up because he has been doing well with the variations and taking wickets at critical times.
“They vary a little in tempo, but the slower one isn’t very effective. They use bowl sharp bouncers and yorkers sparingly. The performance was divine. I think you ought to bring him to England. Aakash Chopra stated, “I sincerely hope he is on the flight to England if he stays in such form.”
Even in the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Krishna helped the side get back into the game by taking two vital wickets of Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen. GT is only one run away from making the playoffs after winning the game by 38 runs.
Everyone is contributing: Shubman Gill
With the way GT has been playing this season, Captain Gill is overjoyed. With seven victories in 10 games, the squad is in second place since the majority of its players have helped the club win in all departments. This season, they appear to be a serious contender with their sights set on winning the IPL. Gill also discussed the team’s fielding performance and how it improved against SRH during the post-match presentation he was giving.
“We discuss fielding before every game; we’ve been mediocre thus far, but we’re pleased with our performance today. At the post-match presentation, he stated, “Everyone is contributing, and it is always good to have options when you are defending on these grounds.”
