Professional Life And IPL Career
Krunal began his professional journey with Baroda in India’s domestic tournaments. He made his first-class debut in the 2016-17 season and soon established himself as a left-handed batsman and slow left-arm bowler. He was bought by the Mumbai Indians at the IPL auction in 2016. For six seasons, he was with Mumbai and helped win titles with his various all-round performances. In 2022, he shifted to the Lucknow Super Giants, where he quickly became one of the key players on the squad and was at times even called upon to captain. To strengthen their lineup, he was contracted by Royal Challengers Bengaluru prior to the 2025 IPL.
All through his career in the IPL, Krunal has been known for his calm head while batting under pressure, tight bowling in the middle overs, and dependable fielding. Like, just this year, we have already seen him take some important wickets for the team, and in a recent match against Delhi Capitals, he even went on to score 73* off just 43 balls, and became player of the match. Just keep in mind, though, it was his first fifty-plus score after 2016, so yes, this good form of Krunal will definitely help RCB a lot in IPL 2025.
