Although Krunal Pandya seemed confident, he doesn't have much form behind him. He was last seen on India's tour of Sri Lanka, where he had tested positive for COVID-19. Even in the matches where he played, Pandya failed to make a mark with both bat and ball. Looking at the attitude with which he plays, Krunal will be eager to turn things around in the second half of the IPL.

Krunal's average has been below 23 with the bat in the last four seasons. In the last couple of seasons he has struggled in the bowling department as well. He had an average of 63.33 in 2020 and of 42.66 in the first half of IPL 2021. To top this up, Krunal Pandya's attitude receives heavy criticism from the viewers. He shows his anger on the field but fails to deliver for the team.

Krunal will be looking to answer all his critics and help MI win their sixth title and third in a row. MI, who are currently ranked fourth in the IPL 2021 points table with four wins and three losses, will be looking to do well in the second half as well. They kick off the IPL schedule with a match against Chennai Super Kings on September 19.
