The Indian all-rounder Krunal Pandya stole all the limelight with his sensational knock in his debut match for team India in the ongoing 1st ODI match against England in Pune. It was an emotional day for the Pandya brothers as both of them broke down into tears after Krunal’s stunning debut for India.
Krunal Pandya earned his place in India’s playing XI for ODI series all thanks to his brilliant performances in the domestic tournaments. And Krunal made full use of the opportunity given to him as he smashed a stunning half-century and scored 58 runs off just 31 balls as he provided the late impetus to India.
