"Experts Perplexed as Sai Kishore Bowls Only One Over"

In the 36th match of IPL 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT) secured a notable victory over Delhi Capitals (DC), with standout performances from their bowlers. Prasidh Krishna led the bowling attack, claiming 4 wickets for 41 runs, while Mohammed Siraj contributed with 2 wickets for 34 runs. R Sai Kishore, despite his impressive form this season, bowled only the final over, conceding 9 runs and taking the wicket of Ashutosh Sharma.​

This limited use of Sai Kishore raised questions among cricket experts. Ambati Rayudu expressed his surprise, stating, "It was quite strange... He's been their best spinner so far; he's been bowling better than Rashid in this competition. Doesn't make sense to me." Mark Boucher concurred, suggesting that match-up strategies might have influenced the decision, particularly with left-handed batsman Axar Patel at the crease for a significant portion of the innings. ​

Despite the unusual bowling choices, GT's victory propelled them to the top of the IPL 2025 points table. Prasidh Krishna's consistent performances have made him a key player for GT, and his recent form suggests he could be a valuable asset for India in future international fixtures.
