Lastly, Chopra is signed off by stating that even Krunal Pandya has been found wanting for the Mumbai Indians this year.

The issue is that in the end, there is a lot of pedigree, there is a lot of performance in the past but the form is the biggest currency, which the Mumbai batsmen don’t have currently,” Chopra said.
