New Delhi: Former West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard has been an integral part of the Mumbai Indians (MI) team for many years. As an all-rounder, he has played an important role in winning the team in many matches. Along with this, he has also captained the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma. Mumbai Indians retained their four players for the ongoing season, including Kieron Pollard's name and had high expectations from the team. But Pollard has not been able to live up to the expectations of Mumbai this season at all.
Pollard has scored just 129 runs in 10 matches at a modest average of 14.33 and strike rate of 109.32. In his last match against Gujarat Titans, Pollard could only manage 4 runs in 14 balls. After which former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra feels that Pollard will hardly be seen representing the team in the upcoming matches, at least as far as this season is concerned.
Aakash Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel that, 'Tilak Verma got run out. But before that Kieron Pollard returned to the pavilion. It's an interesting thing, I think Kieron Pollard won't play any more this year, just, they won't give him any more chances. Because Dewald Brevis is sitting outside and Tim David is playing better. Let us tell you that Tim David played an important role in the victory for the 5-time champion Mumbai Indians by scoring 44 runs in 21 balls in the match against Gujarat Titans.
