Australia vs India 2018: Krunal Pandya Learnt Quickly From his Mistakes - VVS Laxman

Former India cricketer, VVS Laxman has praised all-rounder, Krunal Pandya for bouncing back in the third T20I against Australia in Sydney. Meanwhile, Krunal had faced the flake for conceding a lot of runs in the first T20I. Also, he got hit for three sixes by Glenn Maxwell.
However, India had won the third and final T20I at the SCG and levelled the three-match series 1-1. VVS Laxman, in his article for TOI, hailed the Indian team for winning the close game. The visitors, however, were denied over a potential victory in the 2nd T20I at MCG, which got washed out.
Krunal learnt quickly, says VVS
“Having ended up just short in a rain-hit opening game and perhaps been robbed by the weather in the second match at the MCG, India extended their unbeaten streak in bilateral Twenty20 International series to 10 with a sparkling performance at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.” VVS Laxman wrote in his column for the Times of India.
“He quickly learnt from his mistakes and bowled slower through the air. Thereby giving the ball every opportunity to grip the surface. His four wickets were just reward for intelligence and the ability to think on his feet,” VVS Laxman further added.
Khaleel is worth investing in – Laxman
Furthermore, VVS also appreciated Khaleel Ahmed for his performance in the T20Is. The legendary batsman also called Khaleel, as one of the fine prospects for team India.
“Khaleel Ahmed is another for the future. The youngster is an excellent exponent of swing bowling, with the added advantage of bringing the ball into the right-hander, always a valuable weapon. He might go for a few from time to time, but he is definitely worth investing in to complement the core pace bowling group of Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar,” VVS Laxman said.
Also, the former Indian cricketer appreciated Shikhar Dhawan for his excellent show. The southpaw had scored 117 runs from two games and was also awarded as the Man of the Tournament. However, India will clash off against the Aussies in the first Test in Adelaide, starting December 6th.
