As the BCCI announced the 12-man Indian squad for the first T20 international against Windies, Krunal Pandya’s name features in the line-up. The all-rounder is likely to make his debut for India in tomorrow’s game at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. For a long time, his name has been discussed in the Indian cricketing circles at least in the shortest format of the game. He was even a part of the T20I team as a replacement on the tour of England and the wait seems to be over for the 27-year-old.

His brother Hardik Pandya is already a regular in the Indian team. However, the fast bowling all-rounder is out due to an injury. He is slated to remain out of action for a while now. While the younger brother takes rest, it’s time for the elder one to display his potential in front of the world. The spin bowling all-rounder will be really keen to prove himself in the opportunities he gets.

Krunal is extremely talented and if nothing, his performances for Mumbai Indians over the last few years is a sublime proof of the same. He has been a more valuable asset to the team than Hardik too. In fact, the franchisee forked out a whopping 8.8 crores to retain him this year.

Other than piling up quick runs on the board, the left-arm orthodox bowler has also taken wickets at an impressive rate. He has even had the best of some outstanding batsmen. Ask AB de Villiers the big fish he has accounted for four times. Even for the Baroda team, he has made some significant contributions over the past few years. He was, in fact, the leading run-scorer for Baroda in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Twitterati was filled with happiness after learning about the development. The fans were quite delighted to see his name in the 12-man squad and expected him to be in the starting XI.

Here we have Twitterati reacted to Krunal Pandya’s selection in the 12-man squad:

Confident enough about Krunal's bowling to get him to bowl his full quota. Hence, adding another batsman to the playing XI.
