The lanky paceman from Karnataka, Prasidh Krishna, had one of the most dramatic entries to the camps of KKR. In the first place, Prasidh's name wasn't called out in the 2018 IPL Auction. However, Kolkata decided to employ him as a net bowler for the 11th edition of IPL. And that's where his IPL journey started.

An unfavorable injury to Kamlesh Nagarkoti changed the course for Krishna as KKR decided to sign Prasidh as Nagarkoti's replacement. The very decision opened the IPL doors for Krishna as he featured in seven games for KKR in IPL 2018. In these games, Prasidh put in an exceptional set of performances as he grabbed ten wickets at an average of 26.00 and a strike-rate of 16.80.

The Karnataka paceman will be looking to perform on the same lines for KKR in IPL 2019 as well. Precisely, his bid will be to improve as a death bowler for Kolkata. Besides, in IPL 2019, he will also be looking forward to lowering his economy rate which was on a higher side (9.28) in IPL 2018.

Thus, with immense talent at his disposal, Krishna will be expecting to be a game-changer for KKR in the coming edition of IPL.
