Pandya Brothers Shine in IPL: Krunal's Record-Breaking Spell

Hardik and Krunal Pandya, the renowned brother duo in the Indian Premier League (IPL), have made significant contributions to their respective teams. Hardik, the captain of Mumbai Indians, and Krunal, a key spin all-rounder for Lucknow Super Giants, have carved a niche for themselves in the cricketing world.

Their journey began together, playing cricket from a young age. They rose to prominence almost simultaneously, both representing Mumbai Indians at one point. However, their paths diverged as they joined different franchises. In 2024, Hardik returned to MI as the skipper, while Krunal remained with Lucknow Super Giants.

On Friday, the Pandya family welcomed a new member, Vayu, the second child of Krunal and his wife Pankhuri Sharma. They also have an elder son.

Krunal Pandya recently achieved a remarkable feat in the IPL, delivering the most economical four-over spell for Lucknow Super Giants. Against Gujarat Titans, he took 3/11 in four overs, with an economy rate of 2.75. His exceptional spell included the wickets of Sai Sudarshan, BR Sharath, and Darshan Nalkande.

This performance broke Pandya's own record of a 2/11 in four overs spell against Punjab Kings in 2022. Mark Wood, the English fast bowler, also holds a record for a four-over spell of 5/14 against Delhi Capitals last year.

Krunal Pandya has a remarkable record against Gujarat Titans, having taken six wickets in five matches at an average of 17.66 and an economy rate of 5.3. He has also scored 51 runs in five innings against GT, with a best score of 23*.

The Pandya brothers continue to make their mark in the IPL, showcasing their talent and determination. Their contributions to their respective teams and the league as a whole have earned them widespread recognition and admiration.
