Australia vs India T20Is: Winners and Losers for the Indian Team

#3 Krunal Pandya

It all seemed to work out for Krunal in the end

5 matches 2 wickets, and a handful of runs. That's what Krunal Pandya had to show for himself after being part of the team for two series. This was a do or die game for the lad who had been a bit unlucky to have a had a couple of decisions go against him and not get much of a chance to contribute with the bat.

Even Harsha Bhogle pointed out at the dropped catch by Rohit Sharma and a review which overturned an LBW in the first game. It just appeared that Krunal's time was up. He's had his shot, 6 games with pretty much nothing to show for.

But then in the 2nd over's first two balls everything changed. Two balls two wickets and there was a sense of reassurance for the elder Pandya. Two more wickets later, Krunal ended with the figures of 4-0-36-4. He'd done his best to show he could contribute.
