Mumbai Indians’ (MI) pocket dynamo Ishan Kishan revealed the toughest bowlers he has faced in the five-time IPL champions nets. Ishan Kishan appeared in a video posted on the official Twitter account of Mumbai Indians.
During the chat, Ishan Kishan was asked to name two bowlers in the MI nets he finds the toughest to handle.
Without thinking much, Ishan named Jasprit Bumrah and Krunal Pandya. Bumrah has a unique action, a short run-up, and nails the yorkers more often than not, even in nets, and it's justified that Kishan would name him.

However, the most surprising name that Ishan said next was that of left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya. We’ve all seen that Krunal doesn’t spin the ball much and is not averse to bowling a quick one as well with seam up to get swing instead and unsettle the batsman.
However, Ishan revealed that he is not troubled by Krunal’s faster balls, but instead by his slower ones. Kishan explained that he chose the Baroda all-rounder as he bowls very slowly at practice.
"Jasprit Bumrah and Krunal Pandya. Because in the nets, Krunal bowls so slow that I can’t even imagine. I swing my bat twice till the time the ball comes!" Ishan claimed.
