Mumbai Indians all-rounder Krunal Pandya was stopped by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) team at the Mumbai International Airport on his arrival from the United Arab Emirates. The reason for such a development as per reports is the suspicion that the cricketer might be carrying undisclosed gold and other valuables.
“Krunal Pandya stopped by Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) at the Mumbai International Airport over suspicion of being in possession of undisclosed gold and other valuables, while returning from UAE,” The News agency ANI quoted sources as saying.
The Baroda born was returning after a successful campaign with the Mumbai Indians which won its fifth IPL title defeating Delhi Capitals in the finals.
Krunal, 29, senior among the Pandya brothers was one of the lynchpins of the Mumbai Indians set up but could not deliver according to expectations. However, he played all the 167 games in the tournament and was one of the two players when Mumbai hit the winning runs in the finals against the Delhi Capitals in Dubai.
His younger brother Hardik has flown with the 35 member Indian contingent to Australia for the full-fledged tour which includes three ODIs and an equal number of T20Is along with four Tests.
