The last over between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Supergiants saw strange scenes as Krunal Pandya hopped at Kieron Pollard and attempted to kiss his head.

For Me, Process Is Important: Krunal Pandya

“I was so thankful that I got his (Pollard) wicket otherwise he would have eaten my brain throughout my life because he got me out and now that it’s 1-1 at least he will speak less. Honesty is important in the team and these guys (coaching staff) are doing pretty well and ensuring everyone is getting better. For me process is important and we want to accept our mistakes and learn from it,” Krunal said.

In the meantime, he was all commendation for his skipper KL Rahul who crushed his second IPL century this season. The man is in the quest for RRs Jos Buttler who is as of now beating the run graphs.

“It was a terrific knock, leading from the front and got us to a respectable total, so all credit goes to him (KL Rahul). I had no idea about how the wicket was going. When we batted, KL was mentioning that the wicket was stopping a bit so we tried to bowl slower and ball that hard length for the new batters,” he added.
