Contributions from players like Krunal Pandya at times go unnoticed in the face of some towering performances in the IPL.

Though Mumbai Indians pacer Trent Boult was declared Man-of-the-Match for his 2-28 against Sunrisers Hyderabad on October 4, Pandya made valuable contributions with bat and ball. His four-ball 20 not out helped Mumbai Indians post 208-5 against SRH. Then, on a small Sharjah ground, he finished with 1-35 despite bowling in the Powerplay.
