Recently, Krunal showed up for Mumbai Indians in the IPL held in the UAE. The Rohit Sharma-led side won their fifth IPL title on Tuesday (November 10) after defeating Delhi Capitals in the finals of the tournament. Earlier, Mumbai had won the tournament in 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019.
The left-handed batsman has played 71 matches for Mumbai Indians in the IPL. He was the player of the match in the 2017 IPL final and had helped Mumbai Indians beat Rising Pune Supergiant to claim their third title.
The latest edition of the IPL was initially scheduled to be held in March but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was then shifted to the UAE.
