Prasidh Krishna delivered a fiery spell for Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2025 clash against Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Introduced into the attack in the fifth over, the pacer didn’t begin on the strongest note, conceding a boundary to KL Rahul on his very first ball. But what followed was a perfect comeback.
Clearly not pleased with being hit, Prasidh regrouped quickly and produced a peach of a delivery to dismiss the Delhi Capitals opener. The ball was quick, full, and tailed in late enough to beat Rahul’s closed-faced flick attempt. Rahul misjudged the line, and with no review taken, walked back after scoring just 8 runs. Replays confirmed it was plumb — a dream dismissal for any fast bowler.

He highlighted the importance of process clarity and consistent execution as key focus areas for DC. On the other side, GT captain Shubman Gill echoed similar thoughts and explained his decision to bowl first, noting the dryness of the surface and lack of grass.
