Krunal Pandya is known for his unorthodox approach to cricket, a quality that has also led to controversy. Despite being a left-arm spinner, he bowls at speeds of over 100 kmph, the fastest in his category. His tactics, including bowling bouncers to left-handed batters, have yielded impressive results, earning him the title of RCB’s second-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2026. In a recent interview with RCB’s Mr. Nags, Krunal expressed his ultimate goal of playing for the Indian national team, claiming that he would do anything to achieve it. Krunal’s recent actions on the field were scrutinized by social media users, as he was accused of sledging Lucknow Super Giants’ young player, Mukul Choudhary. Krunal, however, claimed that he was just having a laugh with the youngster, rather than engaging in provocative behaviour. This incident has sparked renewed interest in Krunal’s unconventional bowling approaches and the controversy surrounding his on-field antics.
