‘One thing I have learned from him…’ - GT pacer Prasidh Krishna credits Ashish Nehra for his resurgence

Indian cricketer Prasidh Krishna has found his form with the ball while playing for Gujarat Titans (GT) in the current IPL 2025 season. The 29-year-old has currently picked 16 wickets from eight matches and just needs three wickets to go past josh Hazlewood who is currently leading the pack with 18 scalps. Prasidh Krishna praised GT coach Ashish Nehra as the biggest factor behind his resurgence to form. 

During his chat with Jio Star, GT’s pacer was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying, “I didn't really do anything different. I think the preparation was better. I was very clear about what I wanted to work on. I ensured I put in the hours and had the right conversations with Ashish Nehra.”

The 29-year-old also said, “I think one thing that I have learnt from him in the few months I have worked with him is about reading the conditions, reading the pitch, making sure you make the right decisions when you are at the top of the mark.” Krishna has not only impressed everyone with his pace but also with his control in the death overs. 

‘KL Rahul my favorite wicket’ – Prasidh Krishna 

Gujarat Titans are set to take on Rajasthan Royals in their next game on Monday. Win for Shubman Gill’s side will put them on top of the table with 14 points from nine games. Krishna along with Mohammed Siraj has been one of the key factors behind the Titans’ early form in the IPL season. 

Speaking to Jio Star, Indian pacer also said, “I think all of these things help you be more confident, and when you are confident, I think you would want to play the games, as many games as possible and make sure you contribute to your team's victory." During the course of his chat with the channel, Krishna also expressed his desire to be part of the England tour starting in June. 

The right-arm seamer said, “The body is good. I'm feeling good. I've been able to play a lot of cricket for some time now and I'm enjoying being on the ground. And the talk about red-ball, white-ball is something, the way I look at it is very different. If you are in form, if you can hit the lengths right, if you have good control in your bowling, I think you are good enough to play any format of the game.”

When asked to name his favorite wicket of the season, Krishna said, “I would say KL Rahul's wicket was my favourite because I was kind of under pressure, the ball was going all over the place, and I had to nail that ball there and lucky that the ball swung very late and got somebody like KL Rahul and that wicket was really important to break the momentum that they had so I would say KL's wicket is my favourite so far."
