Although Krunal Pandya seemed confident, he doesn't have much form behind him. He was last seen on India's tour of Sri Lanka, where he had tested positive for COVID-19. Even in the matches where he played, Pandya failed to make a mark with both bat and ball. Looking at the attitude with which he plays, Krunal will be eager to turn things around in the second half of the IPL.
