Indian players with a point to prove in each team during the IPL 2018

#5 Mumbai Indians

Krunal Pandya

Krunal Pandya was the most expensive uncapped player

The elder of the Pandya brothers didn't come cheap in the auctions this year as teams knew that Mumbai Indians would surely use their RTM card to retain him.

He was bought for Rs 8.8 crore, ending up as the most expensive uncapped player.

Krunal Pandya, has performed admirably for Mumbai Indians over the past two seasons and in fact, had even outperformed his brother, who is in the Indian team.

The Man of the Match of last year's final is a crucial component in the lower middle-order as he lends firepower to the batting and chips in with handy overs in the middle overs.

Mumbai Indians will be worried about Krunal's form though, as he doesn't have a good domestic season behind him.

However, the management and fans will hope that wearing the Mumbai blue jersey will get him going again.
