Prasidh Krishna Reigns Supreme: The Purple Cap Holder Lighting Up IPL 2025

Gujarat Titans’ pace sensation leads the bowling charts and wins admiration across the league

“Great to see him growing into a match-winner. He’s peaking at the right time.” – Eoin Morgan

The 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League has seen some incredible bowling spells, but none as consistent and match-defining as those delivered by Prasidh Krishna. Donning the Purple Cap, Krishna has scalped 16 wickets in just eight games and has carved a significant lead over Delhi Capitals’ Kuldeep Yadav, who follows with 12 wickets.

Former England skipper Eoin Morgan praised the Gujarat Titans pacer for his exceptional rhythm and game awareness, applauding his ability to step up when it matters most. “It’s refreshing to witness such control and aggression blend so well in a fast bowler,” said Morgan after GT’s latest win.

Gujarat Tightens Their Grip on the Top Spot

Thanks to another clinical spell from Krishna, the Gujarat Titans pushed ahead in the points tally. Their recent 39-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens lifted them to the summit of the IPL 2025 standings with 12 points from 8 games.

Krishna returned with figures of 2/25, troubling the KKR top order early and setting the tone for the match. Teammate Rashid Khan mirrored his stats, choking the run flow and dismantling the middle order to secure victory.

Thriving in High-Stakes Situations

When most bowlers tend to feel the burden of expectations, Prasidh Krishna turns pressure into performance fuel. His bowling has been a mix of accuracy, deception, and raw pace — all tailored for T20 dominance. Krishna doesn’t just look for wickets; he breaks partnerships, shifts momentum, and rattles opposition batters.

This season, his ability to strike in powerplays and death overs has made him a go-to bowler for GT, especially in crunch situations.

Morgan’s Praise Reflects Growing Reputation

During a post-match discussion, Eoin Morgan didn’t hold back his admiration for Krishna. “He understands match situations like a veteran. He’s not just bowling fast — he’s bowling smart,” Morgan said, highlighting the bowler’s strategic mindset.

Such endorsements not only boost Krishna’s confidence but also elevate his stature in the eyes of fans, selectors, and analysts.

The Purple Reign is Just Beginning

Krishna’s current form points toward a historic season. After struggling with injuries in previous years, he has returned fitter, faster, and more focused. His dominance with the ball is shaping Gujarat’s campaign and could play a defining role in their playoff push.
