Prasidh Krishna: India’s Dynamic Fast-Medium Bowler

Early Career & Domestic Rise

Prasidh Krishna began his journey in Bengaluru, Karnataka, where he honed his raw pace and bounce through local cricket academies . Initially overlooked, he broke into the spotlight as a net bowler for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) during the 2017 IPL season . His relentless work ethic paid off when Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) signed him in 2018 as a replacement for Kamlesh Nagarkoti, marking his IPL debut against Mumbai Indians . Domestically, Krishna became a key figure for Karnataka, showcasing his ability to extract bounce and trouble batsmen. His performances helped Karnataka win the 2019–20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy , cementing his reputation as a rising star in Indian cricket .

International Breakthrough

Krishna’s international debut came on March 23, 2021 , in an ODI against England, where he stunned the cricketing world with 4/54 —India’s best ODI debut bowling figures . His ability to bowl yorkers and maintain accuracy under pressure made him a vital cog in India’s limited-overs setup. Transitioning to T20Is, he became a reliable option for death-over spells, leveraging his height (6’4”) to generate steep bounce and awkward angles . Despite fluctuating form, his knack for breakthroughs in crunch moments kept him in the selectors’ radar.

Prasidh Krishna IPL factfile

– After finishing as the joint second-highest wicket-taker in the 2017-18 Vijay Hazare Trophy to help Karnataka win the title, Prasidh Krishna was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as an injury replacement. He ended up with 10 wickets from seven matches

– He had a couple of quiet seasons before taking 12 wickets to help KKR reach the final in IPL 2021.

– In 2022, he had his best IPL season after being bought by Rajasthan Royals (RR). He took 19 wickets from 17 games and was more economical than ever before.

– A lumbar stress fracture and then a quad injury ruled him out of the 2023 and 2024 seasons respectively. Gujarat Titans (GT) then splashed INR 9.5 crore to secure his services ahead of IPL 2025.

Strong Zones & Legacy

Krishna’s strongest zone lies in exploiting pitch conditions —especially pitches offering assistance to seamers. His 6’4” frame enables him to extract extra bounce, making life difficult for batsmen in both powerplay and death overs . While consistency remains a challenge, his 4/54 on ODI debut and IPL economy rate of 8.2 highlight his game-changing potential . As a Karnataka icon and Indian national team member, Krishna’s legacy hinges on evolving into a consistent all-format performer , bridging the gap between domestic brilliance and global excellence.
