Prasidh Krishna emerged through the Karnataka State Cricket Association's age-group structure in Bengaluru, progressing into the senior state side. His tall frame and seam-up style allowed him to make an early impression in domestic limited-overs cricket, where his ability to bowl with hard lengths and at the death drew attention from selectors and franchise scouts.
He has been a regular member of the Karnataka squad in the Ranji Trophy, the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. His performances in the domestic limited-overs competitions helped establish him as one of the leading young pacers in South Zone cricket.
Prasidh Krishna was signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League and went on to become a recognised middle- and back-end overs option for the franchise. He was later picked up by Rajasthan Royals, continuing his role as a frontline seamer in the tournament.
He made his One Day International debut for India against England in 2021, taking a four-wicket haul in his first match. He subsequently earned selection in Test and Twenty20 International squads, becoming part of India's broader rotation of fast bowlers across formats.
Prasidh Krishna is regarded as a bowler who uses his height to generate steep bounce, especially on hard surfaces. His selection reflected a wider trend in Indian cricket of identifying tall, pace-oriented seamers from the domestic circuit to support the country's first-choice attack across home and overseas conditions.
