IPL 2018: 5 most worthy right to match card choices

#1 Krunal Pandya

Krunal Pandya bats left-handed and bowls left-arm orthodox

There are very few uncapped players who have earned such high repute as Krunal Pandya. Like his brother Hardik, Krunal is also an all-rounder who can clear the fence at will. The elder Pandya bats left-handed and bowls left-arm orthodox.

He was picked up by Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 2016 edition of the IPL for 2 crores. This was an unprecedented amount for an uncapped Indian player. However, Krunal proved his worth by his performances in that season and in the following one as well. On expected lines, MI used their right-to-match card to retain Krunal for 8.8 crores.
