It was the final of the IPL 2017 and Mumbai Indians opted to bat first against Rising Supergiant Pune. The start was anything but expected and soon Mumbai was tottering.

Jaydev Unadkat sent back both the openers while Adam Zampa accounted for Rohit Sharma and Kieron Pollard in one over and Mumbai was reduced to seven down for 79 in fourteen overs.

But from the other end, Krunal Pandya batted with caution and kept the scoreboard ticking.The left-hander showed steel like determination and absorbed the pressure of the finals with ease. The accurate and probing bowling couldn't flinch him and Krunal slowly took Mumbai to a respectable total.

He batted with maturity and tagged with Mitchell Johnson to score a fifty run partnership for the eighth wicket. The Mumbai batsman upped the ante in the final overs and brought momentum back.

He scored 47 runs off 38 balls but these runs proved to be of immense value as Mumbai went on to win the game by just one run.
