IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans’ Prasidh Krishna feels at home in Bengaluru

BENGALURU: Just when Prasidh Krishna’s international career was taking off, a lumbar stress fracture in August 2022 kept him away from competitive cricket. Last season, a quadriceps injury ruled him out of the Indian Premier League (IPL). It’s been a tough couple of years for the 29-year-old from Karnataka.
This IPL season, playing for Gujarat Titans, he had a rather forgettable comeback, with Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer taking him to the cleaners in Ahmedabad last week. Barely four days after the nightmare return, Prasidh delivered a match-winning performance of 2/18 as Mumbai Indians failed to counter his precision and variations.

As he returns to his home ground — the M Chinnaswamy stadium – on Wednesday, the Bengaluru pacer hopes to deliver for the visiting side.
“It’s great to come back home and play in the stadium that I’ve grown up playing in,” Prasidh stated on the eve of his team’s contest against RCB.
He admitted the T20 game has evolved during his injury-enforced absence.
“As much as I try to tell myself that it’s just another tournament, just another game, having not played a lot of T20s in the last two years, the game has changed from 2022 to 2025. It did take some time (for me to settle down). The game keeps moving forward and you must keep up with it. Not much has changed for me physically. I have thankfully been playing some cricket, and the body is letting me do what I want to do,” Prasidh said.
