“It’s the hunger to be at the top always. We’ve never taken any season lightly. There has always been 100% effort from the boys. A lot depends on how we prepared too, how in Mumbai we trained hard. Everyone knew their roles, everyone was in good shape and when the tournament started we just executed what we did in the nets.”

In a recent video posted by MI on Twitter, Kieron Pollard had spoken highly of Krunal and Hardik Pandya.

“They are both loved by all. It’s so hard not to like any of them. Hardik is very confident, his confidence is constant, he is always happy, he always stands up to help everyone, he is tremendous.

“And on the other hand, Krunal, as I always say, is the Smarter Pandya. Overall, we have a lot of fun. They’re very open-minded and strong, but those traits of them are not just limited to off-field.”
