On scorecards: M Prasidh Krishna · Right-hand bat
Prasidh Krishna, a bowler, has played seven IPL seasons for three franchises.
The arrival
Prasidh Krishna's first IPL season was 2018, with Kolkata Knight Riders, a signing made outside the auction.
That first season brought 7 matches, 1 run and 10 wickets at 9.29 an over.
The peak
The best season was 2025, for Gujarat Titans: 25 wickets at 8.27 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 9.48, with best figures of 4 for 41. Three seasons brought 15 wickets or more (2022, 2025 and 2026).
Franchise by franchise
2018 to 2021, Kolkata Knight Riders. 34 matches and 31 wickets.
2022, Rajasthan Royals. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹10 cr. 17 matches and 19 wickets.
2025 to 2026, Gujarat Titans. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹9.50 cr. 27 matches and 41 wickets.
3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Kolkata Knight Riders, 2018 to 2021. 2023 and 2024 are missing from the record: seasons without an IPL appearance.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 91 wickets in 1,756 deliveries, at 8.91 runs an over against a league rate of 8.69 for the same seasons: 0.23 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often. There were three four-wicket hauls, and the best figures were 4 for 28.
39.6% of the balls Prasidh Krishna bowled were dots, a higher share than 79% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 19.1 balls.
The fielding record: 18 catches and 2 run-outs.
At the auction
Prasidh Krishna has gone under the hammer twice. The highest price was ₹10 cr, paid by Rajasthan Royals in 2022, more than 10 times the base price.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
Where it stands
Prasidh Krishna has made 78 IPL appearances, the latest for Gujarat Titans in 2026, and has won 3 player-of-the-match awards.
