The 2017 edition saw him score 243 runs at an average of 34.71 and strike-rate of 135.75.
Krunal made a significant impression in the bowling department too. In the 2016 season, he picked up six wickets at an economy rate of 7.57. The 2017 edition fetched him 10 scalps at an economy rate of 6.82 and he played a key role in Mumbai Indians lifting the trophy.
