The 13th edition of Indian Premier League was supposed to kick-off from March 29, but due to coronavirus pandemic, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to postpone the lucrative league until mid-April, and now it may get delayed further as the COVID-19 cases are increasing on a daily basis.
In the meantime, cricketers are heading towards social media to interact with their fans and pass the time. In the process, cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shreyas Iyer have engaged with fans on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter.
Now, all-rounder Krunal Pandya has also joined the elite list. The Mumbai Indians (MI) player on Thursday engaged in a Question-Answer session with fans on Twitter. Pandya answered several questions posted by his followers.
A fan asked Krunal to tell something about former India captain MS Dhoni. The left-hander responded to the question and termed Dhoni as a very down to earth person, a legend and a role model.
