#6 Krunal Pandya's all-round performance vs Delhi Daredevils

Pandya was brilliant with the bat and ball

Krunal Pandya was one of Mumbai’s big money signings. Since his younger brother, Hardik, did well the previous season and a price tag of Rs. 2 crores meant the expectations were heavy on Krunal.

And he didn’t just match them, but exceeded them with his fantastic performances in IPL 2016. In fact, it could be argued that he was Mumbai Indians’ best player—but we will leave that debate for another day.

In this game, he was promoted to number 3 and he shocked everyone with his splendid display of power hitting. Facing only 37 balls, he scored 86 runs—an innings that took Mumbai’s score over 200.

But he wasn’t done just yet. With the ball, he also grabbed 2 wickets to complete a perfect game for himself and his team as Mumbai romped home to a massive 80-run win.
