Prasidh Krishna Career

Prasidh Krishna has been impressive with the ball, using his height into effect to deliver bouncy deliveries.

Prasidh Krishna Domestic Career

Prasidh Krishna shot to glory in 2015 when Bangladesh A came touring the country. The eastern neighbor of India was up against the Ranji-trophy champion side of Karnataka and this is where Prasidh Krishna got a taste of top-flight cricket. He took a wicket off his very first ball, dismissing Rony Talukdar, before taking the wickets of Anamul Haque, Soumya Sarkar, and Nasir Hossain in his first spell to reduce Bangladesh A to 41/5. Karnataka went on to win the match by 4 wickets. He was merely a teenager (19) and picked up 5 wickets against a decent batting lineup.

Krishna made his List A debut for Karnataka in the 2016–17 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 25 February 2017 and since then has played in two Vijay Hazare Trophies. He emerged as the second-highest wicket-taker in the second one.

In August 2018, he was one of the 10 best fast bowlers outside the national team who were mentored at India A by Rahul Dravid and Paras Mhambrey. As a fruition of his efforts, Krishna was named to India A cricket team for the 2018 A-team Quadrangular Series in the same month.

Prasidh Krishna IPL Career

It wouldn’t be hyperbole to say that injuries to other players opened up the IPL gates to the lanky pacer who made optimal use of the opportunities. Krishna was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018 as an injury replacement for Kamlesh Nagarkoti. The Karnataka-born bowler went on to make his debut when another young pacer Shivam Mavi got injured and Dinesh Karthik chose Krishna to replace him.

In 34 matches that he played for the Knight Riders, he has picked up 30 wickets. These numbers do not look entirely convincing, but in the seasons gone by, Prasidh has shown tremendous improvement and was snaffled up by the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2022 mega auction for INR 10 crores and had his career-best season with the ball, picking up 19 wickets in 17 matches.

Prasidh was ruled out of IPL 2023 and IPL 2024 and did not push his case for possible consideration for the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
