Australia vs India 2018 : Top 4 performers of the T20I series

#3 Most Wickets - Krunal Pandya (5)

Australia v India - T20

The Indian team management was criticized for selecting Krunal Pandya ahead of young leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in the first T20I. The elder brother of Hardik Pandya was taken to the cleaners at Brisbane as he leaked 55 runs in his 4 wicket-less overs. He could not contribute much with the bat as well.

Krunal bowled well in the rain-affected second T20I and cleaned up Glenn Maxwell with a tweaker. The left-arm spinner bowled the best spell of his life in the third T20I as he accounted for 4 Australian wickets in his 4 overs.

The senior Pandya dismissed Darcy Short, Glenn Maxwell, Ben McDermott and wicket-keeper Alex Carey to complete his maiden 4-wicket haul in T20Is along with registering the best figures by a spinner in Australia. Pandya grabbed 5 wickets in 3 matches at an expensive economy rate of 9.75.
