The left-arm spinner expressed his happiness and satisfaction after the victory against DC, where the batter has contributed with both bat and ball.

“It’s been a long wait for me to get my rhythm in the batting. But again it's quite satisfying and quite overwhelming as well because I have been searching for something like this. Because I always knew that I have it in me, somewhere down the line, but something was missing. But again I used to ask the question and tell myself, ‘Don’t give up, it will come’. So, I mean yeah it’s just that I am able to contribute and do it for the team. And the icing on the cake was I was not out and when you put the team first, God also blesses you in the right way, if the intentions are right,” said Krunal in the dressing room video released by RCB.
