All-rounder Krunal Pandya recently shared his excitement about playing for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The Baroda-based cricketer was roped in by the franchise at the IPL 2025 auction at INR 5.75 crore.
In a video shared by RCB on their official YouTube channel, Krunal spoke about his admiration for the team’s marquee player Virat Kohli. He emphasized how he is fond of the ace batter’s passion for the game.
“We all know who’s Virat Kohli and what he has done. Lots to learn as well from him. Again, I love his passion and aggression, what he brings to the team and that energy just rubs onto the others as well. I love that vibe and energy.”
“I’m also very passionate; I love winning. The agenda when I go out there on the field is to win, regardless of what happens. Sometimes, that brings out that aggression because you are so passionate about the game. At the end of the day, what I believe is that it’s a team game. For me, winning becomes much more important rather than individual performance because I love winning trophies.”
