Pollock said that the batting capacity in Krunal is not the same, but read the situation and manufactured his innings accordingly.
“Now we watch the game where you see him doing this, and then you see Krunal Pandya, who has got the pants that the pants have got, which he has got, has not found anywhere, has gone to the same position, he managed to receive himself and then he paid later.
