Krunal made into India's 15-member squad led by Kohli for the three T20s against the West Indies. He said that he now wants to pick on his skipper's brain on how to achieve consistency which will give his limited-overs career much-needed fillip.
“West Indies tour I am looking forward to it because there is a lot of cricket in future. Obviously, I want to perform consistently in both batting and bowling,” Krunal said.
“I want to learn from Virat (Kohli) how to develop that hunger and be a consistent performer.”
Krunal, who is already in the West Indies with the India A side, said such tours help a cricketer in gaining experience.
“India A tours help a lot. In the last 2-3 years, I have played in South Africa, New Zealand and England. It gives you experience and advantage when you tour these countries with the senior team,” he said.
Krunal also admitted that he is a big admirer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is at the twilight of his career now.
“There is no big finisher in Indian and world cricket than Mahi bhai (Dhoni). He has been doing this day in and day out. His patience and the way he reads the situation are the qualities which I would like to learn from him,” said the 28-year-old left-hander, whose younger brother Hardik has been rested for the entire tour of West Indies.
