#3 Krunal Pandya
Krunal Pandya had an impressive IPL season in 2016, and in 2017, he furthered his reputation as a reliable all-rounder. The left-hander scored 243 runs at an average of 34.71 and also picked up 10 wickets at an economy rate of 6.82 in IPL 2017.
His effective all-round skills helped Mumbai Indians balance their squad and his tremendous performances under pressure allowed them to clinch the title for the third time.
Pandya is a handy middle-order batsman with a solid temperament and the ability to hit big sixes. These make him a specialist for limited overs cricket while his left-arm spin is an added bonus.
On Indian pitches, Krunal’s spin bowling is dangerous but does he have the skill to extract turn and bounce from South African pitches?
