Prasidh Krishna had a tough start in the IPL 2025 Eliminator match against Mumbai Indians, conceding 26 runs in his first over. Facing the explosive duo of Rohit Sharma and debutant Jonny Bairstow, Prasidh struggled as Bairstow attacked from the start. Despite being dismissed just three runs short of his half-century, Bairstow inflicted serious damage on Gujarat Titans’ bowlers. GT captain Shubman Gill’s decision to bring in Prasidh to turn the tide backfired as Bairstow hit him for multiple boundaries and sixes. The GT skipper’s reaction to Prasidh’s poor bowling was evident as Bairstow continued to dominate the over. The match, which saw Mumbai Indians batting first after winning the toss, determined the finalist who would face Punjab Kings. The Kings suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Qualifier 1. Despite the tough start, Prasidh Krishna’s performance in the Eliminator match will be remembered for Bairstow’s aggressive batting display.
