Ahead of game on Sunday night, Flower had called Pandya the pick of the season during his chat with the media. RCB’s coach had said, “Krunal was a very important pick for us in the auction. We liked his all-around capabilities, but also his experience. He has experienced winning the IPL, he has experienced captaining in the IPL, and he has played international cricket. He also has got fire in his belly, and I really like that. Obviously, both brothers do. So he was an important pick for us in the auction."

So far this season, Pandya has played 10 matches and scored 97 runs with the bat which includes his 73 not out against DC. Krunal’s importance has been felt with the ball in hand as he has picked 13 wickets this campaign. His best figures of 4/45 came in the game against Mumbai Indians which helped RCB win the game by 12 runs.
