When it comes to the IPL, which begins on September 19, Mumbai Indians all-rounder Krunal believes that getting the wicket of someone like AB de Villers, one of his favourite players, is always a treat.

"The 2017 final and the 2019 final," Krunal remarked, recalling one of his best IPL matches. I didn't have much of an impact in the 2019 final, but it's about how we won as a team. Individual performances aren't as important to me as this.

"We [Mumbai Indians] were at 78 for 7 in the 2017 final when the strategic pause was taken. I just told myself that in the last two overs, I'm going to go all out in terms of hitting. "Before that, I'll just nudge the ball around and see what happens," he remarked.

"Fortunately, everything went as planned, and I almost got 25-30 runs in the last few overs. This provided us with a total that we could defend "Added he.

When the IPL returns to Dubai on September 19, the defending champions Mumbai Indians will face Chennai Super Kings in the first game.
