Prasidh Krishna (Gujarat Titans)
Prasidh Krishna returned in IPL 2026 after battling several injuries. He won the Purple Cap last season as the leading wicket-taker with 25 wickets in 15 matches at an impressive average of 19.52.
Gujarat Titans retained Prasidh Krishna along with Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada to form a strong pace attack. He uses his height to generate extra bounce and speed, even on flat surfaces.
The Karnataka cricketer has the skills to defend his Purple Cap title. Opposing captains know how difficult it is to score runs against them, especially when the pitch offers little help. Krishna consistently breaks important partnerships and troubles the middle-order batsmen. He is entering IPL 2026 fully prepared to dominate and defend his Purple Cap.
