Saundarya MehraAnyone who has witnessed Krunal Pandya bludgeon 86 off 37 deliveries against Delhi Daredevils during last year’s IPL will swear by his power-hitting ability. On Tuesday, at Delhi’s Karnail Singh Stadium, Krunal summoned his reserves to score an uncharacteristically subdued knock of 79. I’m glad this came in a match-winning cause for my team,” Krunal said after Baroda had defeated Punjab by 75 runs. It’s only a matter of time before he breaks through in the Test team. On Tuesday evening, the all-rounder had put this message on his Snap Chat: “Thank you Delhi… off to Bangalore”, indicating he would be joining India’s Test squad ahead of the second Test.
