Mumbai all-rounder Krunal Pandya grabbed a lot of eyeballs for his innings against Rajasthan in Abu Dhabi earlier this week in the Dream11 IPL 2020. While a section of fans targeted him for his underwhelming strike-rate as he scored 12 runs from 17 deliveries, his expressions while batting triggered a meme fest on social media. Krunal Pandya might put an end to the debate regarding his batting prowess later as the left-hander has an interesting take on the memes first up.
