KCL 2025 Most Runs: Krishna Prasad wins Orange Cap, Sanju Samson comes 3rd - Top 10 Run Scorers of Kerala Cricket League Season 2

Kerala opener Krishna Prasad has emerged as the Orange Cap winner of the second season of the Kerala Cricket League (KCL). Leading Trivandrum Royals, the 26-year-old smashed 479 runs from 10 matches, including a century and three half-centuries.

Despite Royals failing to qualify for the semifinals, Krishna's consistent batting was one of the standout stories of the tournament. He excelled across phases-attacking in the powerplay, smartly rotating strike in the middle overs, and finishing with fireworks in the death overs at the Greenfield Stadium.

KCL 2025 Most Runs — Sanju Samson, Krishna Prasad, Ahammed Imran (L to R)

Krishna had represented Alleppey Ripples in the inaugural season, scoring 192 runs across 10 games. Ahead of Season 2, Trivandrum Royals signed him for ₹3 lakh at the auction. His career hit a setback last year when a shoulder injury kept him out of action for an entire season. Determined to return stronger, the Vaikom-born batter, also an employee with Southern Railways, took a month's leave from Chennai and trained extensively in Thiruvananthapuram. He practiced alongside district teammates Anuraj, Abhishek Pratap, Abhijith Praveen, Rahul Chandran, and Abhishek Nair, honing his skills at Greenfield and the Medical College grounds.

With two Vijay Hazare Trophy centuries under his belt, Krishna last played for Kerala in the 2022 Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, where he struggled for impact.

Thrissur Titans' youngster Ahammed Imran also had a stellar season and finished 2nd in the rankings, whereas India star Sanju Samson finished 3rd in the leaderboard. Despite playing a handful number of matches, Sanju showcased his immense batting prowess and lit up the second season of KCL.
