The stage is set and the players are ready to take on the big challenges as the exciting IPL season is about to begin with an old rivalry. KKR and RCB are going to face off against each other at Eden Gardens on March 22 and Kohli and Co. are ready to make and break some records.
While RCB star Kohli eyes some marvellous milestones to break this IPL, the franchise's latest addition, Krunal Pandya is also set to achieve some remarkable goals this season. Let's take a look at which records can Pandya make for himself.
100 Sixes In T20s
Sixes are glory trophies for a batter and for a valuable all-rounder like Krunal, it only adds to his destructive nature with the bat. In 171 innings, Krunal has scored 2845 runs at a strike rate of 130.98 and boasts 98 sixes in this format.
Hence, belting two sixes in the upcoming match means Krunal Pandya will complete his milestone of 100 sixes in T20s.
150 Fours In IPL
KKR haven't been forgiving to Krunal as seen historically. However, with the all-rounder punishing the franchise with 17 fours in 14 matches, there is a chance that Pandya will complete his milestone of fours in the upcoming match.
Playing 127 IPL matches at a strike rate of 132.82, the IPL veteran needs 6 more boundaries to complete the milestone of 150 fours in IPL.
150 T20 Wickets
Krunal Pandya is on the brink of achieving a significant milestone in T20 cricket with the ball too. The all-rounder, who has taken 145 wickets in 207 T20 matches at an impressive economy of 7.23, is just five wickets away from reaching the 150-wicket mark.
Known for his accurate left-arm spin and ability to contain runs in the middle overs, Krunal’s milestone will add another feather to his cap if he manages to strike early in the upcoming match against KKR.
