Mumbai Indians have no plans to rest ace India pacer Jasprit Bumrah ahead of the T20 World Cup even though they are out of contention for the IPL playoffs, said batting coach Kieron Pollard. MI defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets here on Monday after Suryakumar Yadav (102 not out) struck his second IPL century to help his team chase down a target of 174 with 16 balls to spare. The win helped MI end their four-match losing streak and record only their fourth win in 12 matches. “I certainly haven’t had any discussions about that,” Pollard told media after the game when asked if there are any plans to rest Bumrah from MI’s remaining two matches keeping in mind the upcoming T20 World Cup. “I don’t think that’s my role and function at this point in time. But let’s see what happens. We are all here to play an entire IPL. Sometimes when we think too far ahead of different things, thinking about World Cups, all these things could affect performances even from before …

Published by Webster

Mumbai Indians batting coach Kieron Pollard is “sick and fed up” of people pinpointing particular individuals for the team’s losses as he urged fans not to “nitpick” struggling captain Hardik Pandya after MI lost to Chennai Super Kings by 20 runs in their Indian Premier League match. CSK legend MS Dhoni took 26 runs off Pandya’s final over with the help of three consecutive sixes as the MI skipper struggled for right line and length while also bowling two wides at a crucial time. (IPL 2024 Points Table) Pandya finished with figures of 2 for 43 from his four overs and also had a tough time with the bat, managing a mere two runs off six balls at a crucial juncture of the game. “You’re going to have those days. I’m sick and fed up of just looking to pinpoint at individuals. Cricket is a team sport at the end of the day,” Pollard said at the post-match press conference Sunday night. “He (Pandya) is a confident guy. He has been great around the group. …

MI suffered yet another defeat this season as Chennai Super Kings rode on MS Dhoni‘s late blitz and Matheesha Pathirana‘s clinical bowling to secure a 20-run win on Sunday. Hardik, who returned to bowling in the match, conceded 43 runs in 3 overs while scoring just 2 runs of 6 balls with the bat.

“Hardik Made A Decision”: Kieron Pollard’s Sharp Reply To Question On MI Skipper

Published by Webster

Mumbai Indians’ batting coach Kieron Pollard backed Hardik Pandya’s move to open the bowling instead of Jasprit Bumrah and also said the skipper batting at number seven in their IPL opener against Gujarat Titans was a “collective decision”. An inexplicable batting strategy saw MI lose their opener by six runs here on Sunday after they looked on course for victory. Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to bowl first and surprisingly, Hardik opened the bowling against his former side. “You have to plan and decide what you want to do as a team. Hardik (Pandya) has also bowled with the new ball for Gujarat over the last couple of years. He swung the new ball and bowled it well, which was nothing new to us. “We tried to use the advantage of the new ball swinging along. When I look at the decision made, there is nothing wrong with it, and we move on,” Pollard said at the post-match press conference.
