According to a local daily, when asked if Krunal would have to pay a fine, the DRI officer said, “That part would be handled by Customs. Normally, they would first recover Customs duty. DRI has handed over the case to Customs after the detection and the team has withdrawn from the airport.”
The officer added: “The value of the articles is likely to be less than Rs one crore. There would be a valuation done to arrive at the correct value.”
In IPL 2020, Krunal was a part of team Mumbai Indians (MI) who won their record title by defeating the first time-finalists Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday (November 10).
