Prasidh Krishna has left an indelible mark in both wins of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026. After defending 13 runs in the final over against Delhi Capitals, a game which Titans won by one run, Prasidh Krishna came up with career best performance (four for 28) to wreck Lucknow Super Giants’ Innings at the Ekana Stadium on Sunday.

However, Prasidh Krishna was happy that he could contribute to the team’s win and added he tried to bowl differently from other fast bowlers and it worked for him.

“It was important for us to maintain the winning streak and we wanted to win today and we did it. I was trying to bowl a mixture of hard lengths, bouncers and off-cutters. The other pacers were trying to bowl pace on while I thought I could take the pace off the ball and it worked for me.

The pitch was quite challenging for both the bowlers and batters. They played quite a few good shots when we erred in our line and length. So, it was important to bowl at the right areas,‘’ he said. 

On the trend of bowlers increasingly using short balls in the tournament, Prasidh said it was important to keep the batters guessing by mixing up the deliveries. “The batters are ready for the yorkers and it is important to confuse them. So most of us bowl a mixture of short balls and slow bouncers,’’ he said.

Prasidh Krishna added that his improved level of fitness has put him in good stead and said it was the positive vibes in the dressing room that also contributed to his success this season.
