Team India quick Prasidh Krishna put on a fiery bowling show during the 2025–26 Ranji Trophy clash between Punjab and Karnataka on Sunday, February 1. The fast bowler cleaned up Emanjot Singh Chahal with a stunning delivery on the fourth and final day of the match.
The breakthrough came in the 80th over of Punjab’s innings as Krishna pitched the ball up, beating the batter for pace and timing. With Chahal late on his shot, the off and middle stumps were sent cartwheeling. Sharing the clip on X, the BCCI wrote:
“Sound of Timber. Prasidh Krishna produces a beauty again to dismiss Emanjot Chahal.”
