IPL 2025: 5 auction picks that turned out to be masterstrokes for teams
In addition to the upcoming talents performing, IPL 2025 served as an outstanding platform for big-money signings to get another chance at reviving their cricketing careers.
3. Prasidh Krishna (INR 9.50 crore)
Prasidh Krishna was ruled out of the 2023 and 2024 seasons due to a lumbar stress fracture and quadriceps injury, respectively. GT splashed INR 9.50 crore to bring him on board. Prasidh was never really considered as a pacer who would lead the pack, as per how he had been utilised and performed in the past. He had also not played in the IPL for a long time. There was a lot of apprehension surrounding his utilisation ahead of IPL 2025.
One major aspect which the tall and lanky pacer concentrated on was hitting the 'hard length' - be it with the new ball or otherwise. The extra bounce generated through such deliveries troubled quite a few batters. Prasidh's off-cutter was a handy tool too. Despite GT not making it past the Eliminator, he emerged as the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 25 wickets in 15 games.
