Krunal Pandya

Having seen his younger brother catapult his way into India's limited-overs' side and then into Tests, Krunal has shown that he is made for the long grind but not shy of grabbing the opportunities that come his way. Already an IPL star, one shouldn't be surprised if he becomes a regular member of India's T20 setup and with the 50-overs World Cup looming large all he needs to do is to keep repeating what he is doing at the moment.
