Krunal Pandya is a left-handed batter and slow left-arm-orthodox bowler who has represented India in ODI cricket. The allrounder has accumulated 1639 runs across his ODI career, batting from the left side of the crease.
As a bowler, Pandya operates as a conventional left-arm spinner, bringing the ball into right-handed batters and turning it away from left-handers. His dual skill set has made him a fixture in India's middle-order and bowling attack, where he can contribute with both bat and ball.
Pandya's role in the team reflects the modern demand for allrounders who can stabilise innings in the middle order while providing economical overs in the powerplay or death phases. His left-arm orthodox spin has proven a useful variation in India's bowling unit, particularly in conditions that favour turn.
His career has been built on consistency across formats, with his ability to bat in the middle order and bowl sustained spells making him a valuable squad player for India's ODI commitments.
