Krunal Pandya spills beans about the conversation with brother Hardik to RCBS Maiden IPL Triumph | Mint

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India]May 4 (Ani): Krunal Pandya, who was named Player of the Match in the 18th issue final against Punjab Kings, revealed that he had called his brother Hardik after the match and quoted that the Pandya household in 11 years has nine IPL trophies. Krunal, who acquired Bengaluru for £ 5.75 crore, unleashed every weapon of his fully charged arsenal in the final with high interest and captivated the spectators and returned with figures of 2/17 in his four-over-play. He led the backbone of Punjab’s attempt to hunt the target of 191 runs and led Bengaluru to a six-run victory and RCB’s first IPL trophy victory. While receiving the player from the Match Award, Krunal spilled the beans about the conversations he had with his brother Hardik and reminded him of the number of IPL titles they had over the past decade. “When I joined RCB, I said I liked to win trophies. After three and a half months, I was glad I was able to fulfill what I said on day 1. I was pretty good -10 years, 4 IPL trophies. In his memorable excursion, Krunal returned with the invaluable scalps of Prabhsimran Singh, 26, and Josh Inglis, 39, to derail Punjab’s efforts to chase the target. The trick behind Krunal’s success was to deceive the fighters by changing its pace and having the “intestines” to carry it out because it leaves the bowler with no error margin. “When we were fighting in the first innings, I sat outside and talked to the fighters. I realized the slower you bowl, the better. But in this format, than bowler, you need intestines to do it because the error margin is small,” he said. “I just supported myself and thought that if I could vary my pace and keep it more on the slower side, I create chances rather than just come and shoot it. What was my greatest power is to learn what the situation needs. I always supported my gut and instinct, ‘he has 25 scalps in 15 games at an average of 19.52, the best figures of 4/41. dded. (Ani)
