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.
