After the India vs West Indies 5th T20I, which was washed out due to rain in Bengaluru on Saturday, October 17, Sunil Gavaskar put his remarks in favour of Bhuvneshwar Kumar's Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) teammate Krunal Pandya.
Purely based on Krunal Pandya's performance in the recent past, Sunil Gavaskar supported the all-rounder for a national team comeback. Krunal last featured for Team India in 2021 during the tour of Sri Lanka.

Sunil Gavaskar explains why Krunal Pandya deserves a national team recall
"Outstanding cricketer, really one of the smart cricketers that we've seen. Somebody,dy you see his bowling. He's not a big turner of the ball, but he mixes his line, mixes his lengths so smartly; ly, he reads the batter's mind, bowls at the pads. You've seen him bowl the odd bouncer as well, so he's always thinking and plotting against the batter, if not to get him out, at least to restrict him," said Gavaskar.
"And then as a batter, as a fielder in the deep, he's an outstanding cricketer, and I do believe that if you want to win the World Cups, you just go with the guys who you think will win the World Cup," Sunil Gavaskar continued.
