Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya are one star brother duo in the IPL, who are widely regarded. Hardik is the captain of the Mumbai Indians team while Krunal is an important spin allrounder for Lucknow Super Giants. The brothers started playing cricket together and rose to fame almost at the same time. Both played for MI at one point of time. Then then went to different franchises. Ahead of the 2024 season, Hardik came back to MI as the skipper.
On Friday, the Pandya household welcomed a new member in their family – Vayu – the second child of Krunal Pandya and his wife Pankhuri Sharma. They have an elder son too.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) all-rounder Krunal Pandya delivered the most economic four-over spell for his franchise in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 33-year-old accomplished this feat against Gujarat Titans (GT) at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
Pandya took 3/11 in four overs, at an economy rate of 2.75. His unbelievable spell saw him get wickets of Sai Sudarshan, BR Sharath and Darshan Nalkande.
This is the most economical spell of four overs by an LSG bowler in IPL. Pandya broke his own record, having previously delivered a 2/11 in four overs spell against Punjab Kings back in 2022. Mark Wood, the English fast bowler, also delivered a four-over spell of 5/14 against Delhi Capitals last year.
Krunal loves playing against GT it seems as numbers prove it. In five matches, he has taken six wickets against the franchise at an average of 17.66 and an economy rate of 5.3. He has also maintained a strike rate of 20 against GT. He has also scored 51 runs in five innings against GT at an average of 17.00, with the best score of 23*, often coming down the order.
