Prasidh Krishna shares the key to his success in the 2025 Indian Premier League: “I think my control over the length has been good.”

Because he is plucking wickets for enjoyment while keeping a respectable economy rate, Prasidh Krishna is enjoying his best season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year. For comparison, the pacer for the Gujarat Titans (GT) has taken 19 wickets in 10 games. He has matched his highest IPL season total. He had taken 19 wickets in the 2022 Indian Premier League, however they came from 17 games.

At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday, May 2, Krishna let up just 19 runs in his four overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The 29-year-old helped GT limit SRH to 186/6 after setting up a 225-run target by taking the crucial wickets of Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen.

Krishna claimed to have had a fair degree of control over the lengths he bowled after taking home the Player of the Match award. He also discussed the preparations he is doing behind the scenes and the support he is receiving from his GT colleagues.

Prasidh Krishna advised, “Just talk to them, try to hit the right spots, and then take it from there.”

“I believe I’ve had good control over the length, and the teamwork we’ve been doing, along with the support of everyone around me, has allowed me to reach this point. After the game, ESPNcricinfo reported that Prasidh Krishna said, “Yeah, I’m enjoying the way the ball is coming out of the hand.”

“My preparation would start firstly by getting control over what I want to do, get back into the practice, get back in the nets, do exactly what I would do against somebody that I’d be facing in a particular game and then from there, get on game day, look at what the pitch is like,” he stated.

In IPL 2025, Prasidh Krishna, who presently holds the IPL Purple Cap, has a strike rate of 12.32 and an average of 15.37. His economy rate is 7.49 while he bowls. The Karnataka speedster claimed that in order to plan his strategy when GT bowls second, he always pays close attention to the first innings.

“Watch every ball of the 20 overs that someone else bowls if you’re bowling second, and learn as much as you can from them. Additionally, there are many people in my immediate vicinity who have played a great deal of cricket.
