Krunal Pandya, IPL 2025
Krunal’s famous performance was not limited to the final match. He was an important element of the Men in Red all season. Krunal may have only played a few quality knocks with the bat this season, but he was one of the team’s top performers with the ball and made some excellent fielding catches as well.
In terms of bowling performance, he was RCB’s equal second-highest wicket-taker this season, with 17 wickets in 15 games at an average of 22.29 and an economy rate of 8.23. His greatest effort was against the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium, where he took 4/45 in a high-scoring thriller.
