Rajasthan Royals’ fast bowler Prasidh Krishna missed the entire IPL 2023 as well.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday, 12th March, 2024 confirmed that Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) pacer Prasidh Krishna, who underwent a surgery on his left proximal quadriceps tendon, has been ruled out of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). The speedster suffered quadriceps injury during Ranji Trophy 2023-24 match between Karnataka and Gujarat.

Last year, the Indian pacer didn’t take part in the entire IPL due to a stress fracture. Prasidh Krishna returned to play cricket for the Indian side, and his last appearance for the team came in the second test match against South Africa in Cape Town earlier this year.

Rajasthan Royals had retained Krishna despite he missed the entire IPL 2023 tournament due to injury. The right-arm pacer underwent surgery on 23rd February, 2024, for his quadriceps injury and will report at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for his rehabilitation.

“The fast bowler underwent surgery on February 23rd, 2024, on his left proximal quadriceps tendon. He is currently being monitored by the BCCI Medical Team and will resume rehab at the National Cricket Academy soon. He will not be able to take part in the upcoming TATA IPL 2024,” the BCCI statement read.

As for the Royals, they spent a whopping amount of Rs 10 crore to secure the fast bowler’s services at the mega auction before 2022 edition, but he managed to play only in IPL 2022. Krishna has so far played two tests, 17 ODIs, and five T20Is for India, and now he will be aiming to regain full fitness soon.
