Yuvraj Singh is my Idol says Krunal Pandya
Mumbai Indians’ Krunal Pandya is one of the emerging talents in IPL 2016 just like his brother Hardik Pandya was in the last season of IPL. Krunal has impressed one and all with his incredible hitting skills with the high back lift and glorious bat swing, in fact in one of the match Michael Hussey compared his bat swing and flourish with the legendary Brian Charles lara. Krunal along with his amazing batting skills has impressed everyone with his effective left-arm orthodox too.
Such has been Krunal’s impact that he has replaced his brother Hardik Pandya as both of them are all-rounders and Mumbai Indians had to make this call to balance their side. although one brother has taken the place of another but there is not any love lost between the two as we saw from the gesture of Krunal after reaching his 50 against the Daredevils which was directed to Hardik as he opened up about it in the presentation ceremony.
After a match-winning performance against Delhi Daredevils, Mumbai Indians’ emerging all-rounder Krunal Pandya on Tuesday said he idolises the Prince of Indian Cricket Yuvraj Singh.
Krunal said he used to watch the batting style of Yuvraj and always looks to imitate him. On Sunday, Krunal smashed 86 off just 37 balls and also picked up two crucial wickets to help the defending champions Mumbai Indians won the match and keep the Indian Premier League (IPL) playoff hopes alive.
“I used to watch Yuvraj Singh and I am a big fan of Yuvraj Singh, so I like him and I idolise him.” Krunal told reporters.
