The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 concluded with a thrilling final as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinched their maiden title by defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six runs at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. While RCB’s historic win dominated headlines, one individual performance stood tall throughout the tournament — Gujarat Titans’ fast bowler Prasidh Krishna, who finished as the leading wicket-taker and earned the prestigious Purple Cap.
Throughout the season, Prasidh Krishna was playing at an incredible level. Representing Gujarat Titans, he scalped 25 wickets in 15 matches, outclassing every other bowler in the competition. Bowling a total of 59 overs, Krishna conceded 488 runs at an average of 19.52 and an economy rate of 8.27.
His standout performance came against Chennai Super Kings, where he delivered a fiery spell of 4/41, helping his side secure a crucial win. This performance also pushed him ahead of his teammate Noor Ahmad, who was closely competing for the Purple Cap.
| Rank | Player | Team | Matches | Wickets | Overs | Runs | Average | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Prasidh Krishna | Gujarat Titans | 15 | 25 | 59 | 488 | 19.52 | 8.27 |
| 2 | Noor Ahmad | Gujarat Titans | 14 | 24 | 50 | 408 | 17.00 | 8.16 |
| 3 | Josh Hazlewood | RCB | 12 | 22 | 44 | 386 | 17.54 | 8.77 |
| 4 | Trent Boult | RR | 16 | 22 | 57.4 | 517 | 23.50 | 8.96 |
| 5 | Arshdeep Singh | PBKS | 17 | 21 | 58.2 | 518 | 24.66 | 8.88 |
Krishna's consistency was key for Gujarat Titans, especially in crucial moments. He struck regularly in the powerplay and at the death, becoming the go-to bowler for his team. Despite GT not reaching the final, his performance ensured his name remained in the limelight till the very end of the season.
With 25 wickets and the Purple Cap to his name, Prasidh Krishna has not only announced his return to top form but also proven himself as one of India’s premier fast bowlers in the shortest format. His performance in IPL 2025 will be remembered as one of the key individual highlights of the tournament.
