In the high-stakes world of the IPL, where form and fitness often decide fortunes, Prasidh Krishna’s 2025 season stood out as a story of fortitude.

After two injury-ridden years and long months of rehabilitation, the GT fast bowler made a resounding comeback - not just returning to action but leading the wicket-taking charts to win the Purple Cap in IPL 2025.

For Gujarat Titans, who took a punt on Krishna despite his injury woes in the 2025 mega auction, it was a calculated risk that paid off handsomely.

Krishna finished IPL 2025 as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 25 wickets in 15 matches.

It wasn’t just the volume of wickets but the quality of spells that defined his impact. He struck early, broke partnerships in the middle overs and held his nerve at the death. His four-wicket haul at Eden Gardens and tight final overs in high-pressure games were standout moments in our campaign.

What made Krishna’s return all the more impressive was the way he managed his bowling - with control, patience and clarity. His ability to extract bounce and build pressure played a crucial role in breaking through strong batting line-ups.

Behind the performances lay months of hard work and quiet determination. Rehabilitation after back-to-back injuries can test even the toughest athletes, but Krishna embraced the process, rebuilt his rhythm and returned to the park sharper and more composed than ever.

To reiterate, Krishna’s best season before his standout 2025 campaign was for the Rajasthan Royals in 2022, when he scalped 19 wickets in 17 games.

For Gujarat Titans, Krishna was more than a Purple Cap winner - he was a stabilising force in the bowling unit.

His presence allowed others to bowl with freedom and his experience helped the team navigate crunch moments through the season.

Prasidh Krishna’s IPL 2025 wasn’t just a comeback - it was a blueprint - or better yet, a Purpleprint - for comebacks. It proved that setbacks are temporary and class, when backed by grit, is permanent.
