Despite this, the Mumbai Indians have one of the best middle orders in the league and that's thanks to Hardik and Krunal Pandya. The Pandya brothers have formed a great batting and bowling partnership at Mumbai and have finished off many games for the team in the last couple of years.
Krunal is usually sent ahead of his younger brother, Hardik, and is a more calculative player but even he can excel with the slog shots if needed. Hardik, on the other hand, loves muscling the ball and is really deadly against the spinners. Both of them are good readers of the game and aren't scared of big totals on the board. The fact they both are Indian players gives extra incentive to play them in all games.
