In the IPL, though, his most striking habit is how he has quietly overturned a long-held belief: that a left-arm orthodox spinner cannot thrive when a left-handed batter is on strike.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick scan<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>In IPL 2025, no left-arm fingerspinner has bowled more balls (124) to left-hand batters than Krunal.<\/li>\n<li>His IPL 2025 numbers vs left-handers: 124 balls, seven wickets, economy rate of 9.19.<\/li>\n<li>Notable left-handers dismissed include Priyansh Arya, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Shimron Hetmyer.<\/li>\n<li>In the same stretch, Jadeja bowled 91 balls to left-hand batters (14 balls this season) for four wickets; Axar bowled 71 balls for three wickets; Mitchell Santner took one wicket in 49 balls.<\/li>\n<li>Against Rajasthan Royals, Krunal\u2019s spell included two quick wickets and an economy of 7.50.<\/li>\n<li>Against Mumbai Indians, he finished with 1 for 26 in four overs in a match where 240 was chased down to 222.<\/li>\n<li>In the IPL 2025 final, when Punjab Kings chased 191, Krunal made 2 for 17 in four overs and won Player of the Match.<\/li>\n<li>In IPL 2026, he has taken at least one wicket in every game except the opening match vs SRH, and he is tied for RCB\u2019s top wicket-tally with Bhuvneshwar on seven.<\/li>\n<li>On Wednesday, he became the sixth IPL player to reach the double of 100 wickets and 1000 runs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Captains in the IPL have often been reluctant to roll out a left-arm fingerspinner when a left-handed batter is set at the crease. During the Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match on April 13, Ravindra Jadeja did not deliver a single ball to Ishan Kishan, a decision later framed by RR captain Riyan Parag as being influenced by Kishan\u2019s form at the time. Similar caution appears with Axar Patel as well\u2014he frequently features in the powerplay, yet has frequently held back when a left-hander is around.<\/p>\n<p>That hesitation has not been Krunal\u2019s route. Since the start of IPL 2025, he has delivered 124 balls to left-hand batters \u2014 the most by any left-arm fingerspinner \u2014 and taken seven wickets. He has kept things tight too, with an economy of 9.19. His dismissals have included Priyansh Arya, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Shimron Hetmyer, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Placed beside other left-arm options, the contrast sharpens. In the same period, Jadeja has bowled 91 balls to left-hand batters and has claimed four wickets, with only 14 of those deliveries coming in the current season. Axar has sent down 71 balls for three wickets, while Mitchell Santner has taken one wicket from 49 balls.<\/p>\n<h3>RCB\u2019s left-right problem solved in real time<\/h3>\n<p>A useful snapshot of how much RCB trust Krunal against left-handers came during their game vs Rajasthan Royals. Sooryavanshi was handling a 202-run target in Guwahati with ease, and most of the RCB bowling lineup had travelled away with him. Even Krunal\u2019s first over did not start smoothly\u2014Sooryavanshi struck him for six over deep square leg after a delivery that went for 14.<\/p>\n<p>Krunal responded quickly. With the first ball of his second over, Sooryavanshi was caught at wide long-on. Then Hetmyer walked in without a helmet, and Krunal struck again by bowling a bouncer on the off side, which was ramped straight to short third. Two balls, two left-hand batters removed, in a match where the scoring stayed high and even Hazlewood was going at around 11 an over. After completing four overs, Krunal\u2019s economy sat at 7.50.<\/p>\n<p>His impact was just as clear in another high-demand chase. Against Mumbai Indians\u2014where 222 was achieved from a 240 figure\u2014Krunal\u2019s four-over spell of 1 for 26 proved decisive.<\/p>\n<p>After the win over MI, Krunal explained his mindset. \u201cI have never shied away from trying different and new things,\u201d he said. He added that the Impact Player rule has changed the batting setup\u2014previously, teams would often carry an allrounder at No. 6 and another at No. 7, which shifted how batters approached the game.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with eight specialist batters available, Krunal believes younger players are striking from ball one more consistently. \u201cAs a bowler, I always want to be one step ahead,\u201d he said, pointing to both skill and the mental battle\u2014whether it\u2019s bending his knee to deliver a specific ball or committing to a bouncer.<\/p>\n<p>He also backed the format for spin survival. \u201cI am glad that it is coming out well and hope that in this format, there are fingerspinners who will survive and who can take something out of it and do well in this format,\u201d Krunal said. He noted that on flatter tracks, with eight batters in play, it becomes tougher for fingerspinners\u2014but he is pleased he can still contribute.<\/p>\n<h3>The craft: around the wicket, varied lengths, bouncers at the right moment<\/h3>\n<p>There is structure behind the flourish. This season, all 41 deliveries Krunal has bowled to left-hand batters have come from around the wicket. He blends pace and length well, making it harder for batters to settle into a repeatable hitting position. His approach is also visible in detailed logs: he bowls noticeably more bouncers to left-hand batters than he does to right-handers, keeping them outside the scoring zone.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a plan he also rehearses. A day before RCB\u2019s home fixture against Lucknow Super Giants, Krunal spent time bowling exclusively to Jacob Bethell and Devdutt Padikkal, testing around-the-wicket angles while varying both length and pace. The next day, ahead of their Delhi Capitals clash, he did not bowl to left-handers; instead, he worked against Tim David and Romario Shepherd.<\/p>\n<p>Against that right-left mix, his first ball to David was a bouncer. When Shepherd responded by smashing a low round-arm delivery for six, Krunal came back with another bouncer\u2014along with a few words\u2014after the batter ducked under.<\/p>\n<p>His success is not a one-season burst. Over the previous six years, he has consistently been willing to bowl to left-hand batters and has managed reasonable returns. When RCB won the IPL title for the first time last year, much of the attention went to Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, but Krunal acted as a middle-overs anchor from 7 to 16, taking 12 wickets\u2014joint third-highest\u2014while keeping an economy rate of 7.89.<\/p>\n<p>In the IPL 2025 final, with Punjab Kings chasing 191, Krunal contributed 2 for 17 in his four overs and earned Player of the Match recognition.<\/p>\n<p>That form has carried into IPL 2026 as well. Except for the opening match versus SRH, Krunal has taken at least one wicket in every game and is currently RCB\u2019s joint-leading wicket-taker alongside Bhuvneshwar, with seven. On Wednesday, he became only the sixth player in IPL history to complete the double of 100 wickets and 1000 runs. With 27 of those 100 wickets coming against left-hand batters, he heads toward the DC clash with targets in mind\u2014Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, among others, will want to take note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Krunal Pandya has always liked to colour outside the lines\u2014whether it\u2019s the way he uses bouncers, the low round-arm deliveries he
