Watch: Krunal Pandya does a Malinga

Krunal Pandya has been in the news ever since he has been bought by the Mumbai Indians at the IPL auctions this year. Pandya showed he is capable with both bat and ball alike in the matches that he has played so far.

The Pandya brothers are never short on entertainment. Krunal Pandya came up with a slinging action delivery against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at Mumbai. Lasith Malinga is ruled out of the tournament, but Krunal Pandya had his own way to show the presence of the slinging bowler.

Coming to bowl in the 16^th over of the match, the third of his spell, Pandya ran up to the crease in his usual action and then suddenly changed his position to bowl with a low round arm action. The ball, however, was nowhere close to being accurate as Malinga usually has. The ball not only shocked the batsman Travis Head but also left the wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel stunned.The experiment yielded in a wide which a fully stretched Parthiv Patel couldn’t stop and it resulted in a boundary.

However, the young all-rounder had a great outing with the ball. Having bowled his full quota of 4 overs, Krunal Pandya picked up 2/27. He picked up the key wickets of the in-form RCB skipper Virat Kohli and the priced scalp of AB de Villiers. In fact, it was the dismissal of Kohli by Pandya that changed the course of the game and brought the hosts back in the match.

Watch here how Krunal Pandya shocked everyone with his innovative low round arm delivery.
