Gujarat Titans’ pace spearhead Prasidh Krishna produced a fiery spell during their IPL 2025 clash against the Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, showcasing why he’s such a valuable asset for the franchise. After removing the dangerous Axar Patel, Krishna turned the heat up by dismissing debutant Vipraj Nigam for a golden duck—thanks to a moment of brilliance behind the stumps by Jos Buttler.
Krishna, who had earlier bounced back from a tough start against KL Rahul with a stunning yorker that sent the Delhi opener packing, continued his aggressive rhythm. With the ball reversing slightly under the lights and the pitch offering some zip, Krishna delivered a shortish ball on middle and leg.
Vipraj Nigam, trying to create room and guide it past the keeper, could only manage a faint edge. Buttler, ever-alert, flew to his right and plucked a one-handed screamer that left the Ahmedabad crowd in raptures.

This double strike not only dented Delhi’s hopes of setting a competitive total but also gave Gujarat Titans crucial momentum during a high-stakes contest. Krishna’s ability to bounce back after conceding a boundary to KL Rahul earlier in the evening, followed by his pinpoint fuller delivery to trap the opener, has been a testament to his growing maturity and control in pressure situations.

With Kagiso Rabada expected to return soon and Prasidh Krishna firing on all cylinders, Gujarat’s bowling unit looks well-balanced and lethal. Add Buttler’s electric presence behind the stumps, and the Titans seem ready to challenge any batting lineup in the league.
