Former England captain Eoin Morgan has lauded Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna for his sensational bowling performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025. Krishna, who has been one of the most disciplined bowlers in the tournament so far, has also been the cornerstone of GT’s bowling unit, leading the way brilliantly in each of GT's last eight games. His contributions have played a key role in the team’s massive success as GT sit at the top of the points table. Even he registered the figures of 2-25 from four overs in GT’s victory over KKR on Monday. Now, with 16 wickets from eight games, Prasidh is the leading wicket-taker in the tournament. 

“He's the purple cap holder at the moment, and his rhythm just keeps getting better. We know he has that extra bit of pace to work with, but you have to admire the strength he brings during the middle phase of the game. As a captain, having a seamer who can make that kind of impact in the middle overs is absolutely priceless,” Morgan said on Jiohotstar. 

"He now finds himself with the most wickets in this year's tournament - by some margin, actually, by four. It's great to see him growing as a player, evolving across formats, and now being rewarded with national honours as well,".

Analysing KKR’s terrible defeat at the hands of GT, Morgan remarked that KKR haven’t been able to bounce back. Chasing GT’s challenging total of 198, KKR fell short by 39 runs, putting on 159 for the loss of eight wickets in 20 overs. 

"Kolkata Knight Riders have simply not bounced back as well as we would have liked them to. It's always a good sign for a strong team with a lot of character around, but they had the same failures that they've shown throughout the tournament. They made a couple of changes, mainly to try and gain some impetus in their batting line-up, and it didn't necessarily come off. Were the changes worth it? They'll sit back and say no."

"It was interesting to hear Ajinkya Rahane talk about 199 being a chaseable score. Because towards the back end of Gujarat Titans' innings, we thought the ball held up more than we expected. That made finding boundaries harder. But there was no rhythm, no substantial partnerships - almost the polar opposite of what Gujarat Titans displayed today," Morgan noted.
