Let’s Talk Cricket, Movies and Mathematics ❤️

Krunal Pandya was never supposed to be the headline. For years he was just the other Pandya, elder one who carried the kit bag while Hardik got the slow motion entries. But cricket has a way of rewarding the hungry & Krunal’s hunger was never metaphorical.

At 16, he & Hardik ate Maggi once a day. Their father Himanshu had shut his car finance shop in Surat & moved to Vadodara so the boys could train at Kiran More Academy. Brothers shared everything. Once Hardik’s only bat broke during a Ranji match & Krunal had to borrow from a teammate.

Then came the speed post. A government job offer for Krunal. 15-20k Rupees, stable money. His father said take it as family was tired. Krunal was 22 & had just been dropped for a game from Baroda Under-23. He tore the letter. Chose Syed Mushtaq Ali trials instead. That was not a supporting character move. That was a man who thinks he is the lead.

People call him a defensive bowler, as if that is an insult. Since 2016, only 4 spinners in IPL history have a better economy than his 7.56 (Min 50 wickets). 2 are all time greats in Narine & Rashid Khan, third is Axar Patel; a regular in Indian T20 team.
But here is the thing: none of those 4 have scored more runs than Krunal since his debut. Not Narine who opens many times. Not Axar who bats at 5 these days. Krunal has 1897 runs at 22.85 while keeping the runs down better than almost everyone.

He left Mumbai Indians in 2022. Since that exit, his IPL economy is 7.81. Only Narine has taken more wickets with a better economy in this period. Meanwhile Mumbai’s best spinner in these 4 years has been Piyush Chawla at 8.4.
Look at what happened to Mumbai Indians after he left. Bottom of the table twice. Already eliminated this season. On the other side, Krunal’s teams have made the playoffs every single year since 2022. LSG first, then RCB. Trophy in 2025. Top of the table right now in 2026. This is not coincidence. This is what happens when you remove the glue & wonder why the furniture is shaking.

Hardik gets called clutch. Fair. But Krunal is the only player in IPL history with 2 Player of the Match awards in finals. 2017 with MI. 2025 with RCB. The elder brother, the one who supposedly just does the dirty work, has delivered on the biggest stage twice.
In 2025 final against Punjab, he took 2 for 17. Got Prabhsimran & Inglis. RCB fans who once abused him for taking AB de Villiers wicket were now calling him legend. That is the thing about sports. It does not care about your Instagram followers. It cares about who shows up.

11 seasons, 2 final POTMs, 1 trophy that RCB waited 17 years for. All from a boy who once ate Maggi for dinner & travelled 25 kilometers to prove he could be something. Bollywood got it wrong this time. Elder brother was the main character all along. He just needed a different city to prove it.

@Imsafur20 Bhai kya kaam? West Bengal is literally the worst state in India. Not a Single good city except parts of Kolkata. Other big states have atleast 4/5.

[Bhoop Narayan Singh @imbhoop13]

@anubhavgupta_ji This is the Worst Opposition ever. Opposition is very important for a nation to grow. Also, the nation wants a particular person to win because they have some hope from them. Their worst is better than Opposition’s best. If the other one wins then it’s game over.

@SIDHISADILADKI A list of comedians without Vipul Goyal😂

[Bhoop Narayan Singh @imbhoop13]

@Shebas_10dulkar How is there always problems in the dressing room when Rohit is not the Captain ?

[Bhoop Narayan Singh @imbhoop13]

@ratneshislucky @Rajiv1841 Yes salt is important, No doubt but the problem is ki wo form m nahi hai. If 5-6 matches m run nahi aate then we can think about it. Duffy and Hazlegod dono ko khelna hi chahiye but if uske wajah se we remove Tim/Shepherd then we are too much reliant on Jitesh for finishing.

[Bhoop Narayan Singh @imbhoop13]

@Vishvardhan44 @Rajiv1841 Bro if salt is out of form for 4-5 matches then we can think about it. Our bowling will be insane

[Bhoop Narayan Singh @imbhoop13]

Venky Iyer
Virat
DDP
Rajat
Tim David
Jitesh
Romario/Bethell
Krunal
Bhuvi
Duffy
Hazlewood
Suyash (Impact)

Can we play with this team after Hoff comes back? I know it is only 1 match but our bowling looks weak.

@cooldudejai @asifmujtaba1991 @ESPNcricinfo He has strike rate of 160.

[Bhoop Narayan Singh @imbhoop13]

@Eren_Yeager_123 @asifmujtaba1991 @ESPNcricinfo Bhai even WI didn’t qualify but Hetmyer and Holder are there. Highest runs in a season ever. That itself is a achievement.
