Krunal Pandya has been delivering crucial performances in the IPL 2024 for Lucknow Super Giants.

He bagged three wickets by conceding 11 runs in four overs with an economy of 2.75. He registered the wickets of Sai Sudarshan, BS Sharath and Darshan Nalkande.

This is the most economical spell of four overs by an LSG bowler in IPL. Pandya broke his own record, having previously delivered a 2/11 in four overs spell against Punjab Kings back in 2022. Mark Wood, the English fast bowler, also delivered a four-over spell of 5/14 against Delhi Capitals last year.

He has also maintained a strike rate of 20 against GT. He has also scored 51 runs in five innings against GT at an average of 17.00, with the best score of 23', often coming down the order.
