Early life

edit

Krishna was born on 30 August 1987 in the village of Siberia, Labasa to Bal and Sarita Krishna.[4][5] His great-grandparents come from Kolkata, India and were part of the labour force controlled by the British, which eventually led them to Fiji in the late 19th century.[6][7] He practised football since primary school at St Mary’s and earned his first football shoes at the age of 5, gifted by his father at the expense of the family’s weekly budget for rice.[8][9] Krishna also played rugby with his friends before his parents asked him to change sports. Immersed in the Indian culture, he tried to master the dholak and played alongside his father, who played the harmonium and sang songs derived from the Ramayana. Due to the country's limited resources and lack of experienced footballers, he idolised Fijian striker Simon Peters, who played for Labasa FC.[10]

Club career

edit

Early career

edit

Krishna joined the New Zealand Football Championship (NZFC) side Waitakere United from Fijian local outfit Labasa FC in January 2008.

In May 2008, he spent two weeks training with the Wellington Phoenix,[11] but was not offered a contract.

In March 2009, it was reported that PSV Eindhoven was interested in signing him.[12] However he said professional football in New Zealand with the Phoenix was his preferred option because he was not ready to move to Europe as he was still learning English and was not ready for another language. Later, in June 2013, Krishna was offered a one-month trial by EFL Championship club Derby County; however, he was unable to attend due to restrictions imposed upon him due to his recent acquisition of New Zealand permanent residency.[13]

In his 6 seasons with Waitakere United, Krishna managed 55 goals in 75 appearances and has won the NZFC Golden Boot in the 2012–13 season.[14]

Auckland City

edit

In September 2013, it was announced that he had joined Waitakere's local rivals Auckland City for the upcoming ASB Premiership season.[15] On 12 December 2013, he scored Auckland City's goal in a 2–1 defeat to Raja Casablanca in the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup, becoming the first Fijian to score at the finals of a FIFA tournament.[16]

Wellington Phoenix

edit

On 7 January 2014, Krishna signed with the A-League's Wellington Phoenix until the end of the 2013–14 season as an injury replacement for Paul Ifill,[17] scoring his debut goal on 16 March 2014 against the Melbourne Heart, beating Andrew Redmayne with a powerful drive into the bottom right corner. The match ended in a 2–2 draw.[18] His performance in the match earned him the A-League's player of the week honors.[19] Four days later, Krishna came to terms on a new 2-year contract with the Phoenix.[20]

On 29 February 2016, Krishna extended his contract with the club, agreeing to a 2-year deal that would keep him at Wellington until the end of the 2017–18 season.[21] He subsequently signed a 1-year extension on 15 February 2018.[22]

On 18 April 2018, Krishna was named Wellington Phoenix Player of the Year and his fourth-round goal against Brisbane Roar was deemed the team's Goal of the Year for the 2017–18 season.[23]

On 2 December 2018, Krishna became the outright leading goal scorer for the Wellington Phoenix, overtaking previous leader Paul Ifill's 33 goals for the club.[24] Krishna made A-League history on 19 January 2019, becoming the first player to score 3 consecutive braces.[25]

On 13 May 2019, Krishna was awarded the Johnny Warren Medal for his performances in the 2018–19 A-League season. On 27 May 2019, Krishna announced his departure from Wellington Phoenix after a long-term deal was not reached.[26]

Mohun Bagan

edit

On 18 June 2019, Krishna announced he had signed a one-year deal with ATK (Now Mohun Bagan Super Giants), which played in the Indian Super League.[27] Krishna got off the mark with a goal against Hyderabad in what was only his second match for ATK, and thereafter, it became a familiar sight. Despite a minor injury problem, he finished with 15 goals, the highest in the league alongside Nerijus Valskis and Bartholomew Ogbeche, and six assists from 21 games. Krishna was influential in ATK reaching the final in his first season with the club, scoring a goal in the second leg of their semi-final victory against Bengaluru on 8 March 2020.[28] He also played a pivotal role in ATK winning their record-breaking third league title with an assist in their 3–1 win over Chennaiyin in the final.[29]

Following the 2019–20 season, the team ATK was dissolved and its brand got merged with the more than a century old club, Mohun Bagan to form ATK Mohun Bagan. In ATK Mohun Bagan's first Indian Super League match on 20 November 2020, Krishna scored the club's first goal in ISL and was awarded the man of the match in their 1–0 victory over Kerala Blasters.[30] He scored in the club's next match on 27 November, the inaugural Indian Super League Kolkata Derby against East Bengal; Mohun Bagan won the match 2–0.[31] Krishna went on to help his team finish second in the league stage and grab up the runners up spot in the playoffs, also winning the golden ball award for contributing 22 goals in 23 games.[32] On Mohun Bagan Day 2021, he extended his contract for another year at the club and was also awarded 'Best Footballer of the Year' by Mohun Bagan. In the 2021 AFC Cup, Krishna scored 2 goals for the team in the group stage.

In his second season with the club, he was diagnosed with COVID-19 and played only a few matches due to recurring injuries. He scored only 7 goals in what had been an underwhelming league season for him so far. In the 2022 AFC Cup, he scored his only goal in the tournament during his last match with the club against Maziya. On 3 June 2022, his contract expired ahead of the upcoming season and parted ways with the club.[33]

Bengaluru

edit

In July 2022, Krishna penned a two-year deal, the second of which is an optional extension with Bengaluru.[34] On 17 August, he scored on his debut against Jamshedpur in the Durand Cup, which ended in a 2–1 win.[35][36]

Odisha

edit

On 17 July 2023, Odisha announced the signing of Krishna on a one-year deal.[37] As of 5 February 2024, Krishna is the current goal scoring leader in the 2023–24 season.[38]

On 4 December 2024, Odisha announced that Krishna will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2024–25 season due to an ACL injury sustained during the game against Hyderabad.[39]

International career

edit

Krishna made his debut for Fiji at the South Pacific Games 2007 and he has played for them in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament.[40]

In 2010, Krishna was also called up to the national futsal team for the 2010 OFC Futsal Championship.[41]

On 16 July 2016, Krishna was named as one of the three over-aged players of the Fiji U23 team in the 2016 Summer Olympics, alongside Simione Tamanisau and Alvin Singh.[42] On 7 August 2016, he scored the team's only goal in the final tournament's campaign, against Mexico. Krishna's goal was Fiji's first ever goal in the Olympic Games.[43]

In 2021, Krishna was named Oceania Football Confederation ambassador.[44]

On 18 November 2023, Krishna became the all-time leading goal-scorer for the OFC, after surpassing the record of 34 goals by both Commins Menapi of Solomon Islands, who held the record for more than fifteen years, and Chris Wood of New Zealand.[45]

In the 2024 OFC Nations Cup, Krishna became the tournament top scorer with 5 goals.

Personal life

edit

Krishna is an Indo-Fijian. After living in New Zealand for ten years, he gained his citizenship in December 2018.[46] Krishna is trilingual: he can speak fluent English, Fijian and Hindi.

In July 2018, Krishna married Indo-Fijian model and media business owner Naziah Ali.[47] They welcomed their first child in 2022.
