A formidable presence in the fast-bowling department, Prasidh Krishna (born February 19, 1996) is a right-arm speedster renowned for his high release point and the ability to extract steep bounce on even the flattest tracks. A domestic giant for Karnataka, Prasidh has evolved from a “hit-the-deck” specialist into an elite international pacer.
As of January 22, 2026, Prasidh Krishna is entering the IPL 2026 season as the reigning Purple Cap winner. Following a historic 2025 campaign where he led the tournament’s wicket-taking charts, he has been officially retained by the Gujarat Titans (GT) for ₹9.50 Crore. He recently spearheaded the Indian attack in the ODI series against New Zealand (January 2026) and is currently preparing for the Ranji Trophy clash against Madhya Pradesh.
Prasidh Krishna: Career Profile & 2025–26 Milestones
The 2025 Purple Cap Masterclass
The 2025 IPL season was a redemption story for Prasidh. After missing previous seasons due to injury, he returned with a vengeance for the Titans:
-
The Record: He claimed 25 wickets in 15 matches, becoming the first Gujarat Titans bowler to win the Purple Cap.
-
The Impact: His career-best figures of 4/41 and a strike rate of 14.16 were pivotal in carrying GT deep into the knockouts, proving his status as India’s premier white-ball enforcer.
Recent Domestic & International Form (Jan 2026)
Prasidh enters 2026 in peak rhythm:
-
Vijay Hazare Fifer: On January 6, 2026, he dismantled Rajasthan with a lethal 5/36, securing Karnataka a 150-run victory and proving his fitness for the international stage.
-
ODI Series vs NZ: He featured in the first two ODIs against the BlackCaps in mid-January, claiming 3 wickets (2/60 and 1/49). While he was rested for the final game, he remains a central figure in India’s plans for the upcoming ICC cycles.
International Legacy
Prasidh etched his name in history on his ODI debut in 2021 by claiming 4/54 against England, the best-ever debut figures by an Indian bowler. Since then, his ability to trouble elite batters like Jonny Bairstow and Glenn Phillips with raw pace and awkward bounce has made him an “X-factor” across formats.
