**Mullanpur, [Date]** – Krunal Pandya once again proved his tactical brilliance, delivering a crucial Powerplay spell for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 37 of IPL 2025. Pandya’s economical and wicket-taking spell effectively stifled PBKS’s aggressive start.

Introduced in the fifth over, Pandya quickly dismissed Priyansh Arya for 9, exploiting a subtle change in length and angle. He returned in the seventh over and immediately bowled Prabhsimran Singh for 32, swinging the momentum decisively in RCB’s favour. His three-over spell yielded impressive figures of 2/14 at an economy rate of 4.66.

The dismissal of both openers within 12 balls significantly hampered PBKS’s run rate in the high-scoring Mullanpur venue. Pandya’s success allowed RCB’s other bowlers, Josh Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma, more attacking freedom. RCB’s strategic decision to deploy Pandya in crucial overs against strong opening partnerships continues to yield positive results. The match highlights once again Krunal Pandya’s value as a tactical spinner in the IPL.
