Former India spinner Pragyan Ojha has commended Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra for his unwavering support of pacer Prasidh Krishna, highlighting the impact of strong leadership on player performance. Krishna has been a standout performer in IPL 2025, delivering match-winning spells and maintaining consistency throughout the tournament.

Ojha emphasized that Nehra’s guidance has played a crucial role in Krishna’s success, particularly in refining his bowling strategy. Nehra’s emphasis on hard lengths and reading match conditions has helped Krishna develop clarity in his approach, allowing him to execute his deliveries with precision.

Krishna himself acknowledged Nehra’s influence, stating that their discussions have significantly improved his confidence and decision-making on the field. He credited Nehra for instilling a mindset that prioritizes adaptability and strategic execution, which has been evident in his performances.

In Gujarat Titans’ recent victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad, Krishna delivered a crucial spell of 2/19 in four overs, reinforcing his value to the team. His ability to strike early and maintain pressure has been instrumental in GT’s rise in the tournament standings.

With the playoffs approaching, Krishna’s form and Nehra’s mentorship will be key factors in Gujarat Titans’ campaign. The team’s focus on disciplined bowling and tactical execution continues to set them apart as strong contenders for the title.
