In a funny interview after the match played between Mumbai Indians and RCB at Wankhede Stadium, RCB insider Mr. Nags jokingly asked Krunal that he has not come to meet any other ‘family member’, to which he pointed towards himself. Krunal replied, ‘It is common in a big family to sometimes not be able to meet some members.’ Mr. Knaggs replied, ‘Just like your brother.’ As soon as Hardik was mentioned directly, Krunal bowed his head and started laughing, but he did not say much. Social media users immediately caught hold of this moment and linked it to the rift between the brothers. However, Krunal also praised Hardik in the interview and called him one of the best finishers in cricket.

Krunal’s strong performance
For RCB this season, Krunal has taken 8 wickets in 6 matches so far and the team is performing well. During this period, Krunal Pandya has spent runs at an economy of only 8.57. Whereas Hardik is handling the captaincy of Mumbai Indians. But his team’s performance so far has not been anything special.
