Kartik Questions RCB's Tactics on Krunal Pandya's Bench Role

In a wild IPL 2026 showdown, Murali Kartik questioned RCB's baffling choice to keep Krunal Pandya on the bench against the Gujarat Titans. With GT chasing 156 and winning by four wickets, Kartik felt it was a huge mistake not to let Krunal bowl, saying even defensive bowlers deserve a shot! Virender Sehwag backed him up, suggesting Krunal could have turned the tide if given a chance earlier.
