IPL 2018, MI vs RCB: 5 players to watch out for

Krunal Pandya

Someone who has impressed one and all with his attitude and keenness to deliver for his side, Krunal Pandya would want to put on a complete performance against RCB today.

Krunal Pandya has been good with his effective left-arm off-spinners so far, getting some crucial wickets and putting the brakes on the opposing team’s scoring. His fielding and catching have been on par with what one has come to expect from him.

It’s his batting or lack of batting performances that has hurt the Mumbai Indians in this season so far. His team needed him to finish the innings on a high after the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Evin Lewis, and Ishan Kishan have provided the right platform.

Soft dismissals and low scores have not helped. Even the likes of Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard have failed to impress as yet but it’s Krunal Pandya with his clean hitting who can cause serious damage to the order. Also, he brings in a lot of confidence and that gets transferred into the way he bowls and fields too when he starts contributing with the bat.

One thing which is for sure is that everyone who has followed his game would want him to deliver as when he gets going. It’s a treat to watch as he lights up the stadium with his performances.
