Kieron Pollard gave a big statement
Let us tell you that regarding playing in the tournament, Pollard said – I am coming to try and bring change in the team, obviously from the team’s point of view we did not perform as well as we thought we would in the last season. Should have done. I just want to come to the team and do something for the fans.
On the other hand, Nicholas Pooran, who plays for Durban Super Giants, said- First of all, let me tell you that I am not a superstar. I just want to continue the game that I have been doing for the last few years. I will try to continue this performance so that I can help my teammates.
Puran further said- I am a T20 specialist, fans come from outside and watch T20 cricket. At this point I’ve gone down the path where I think it’s an amazing game. Not only the players but also the fans are attracted towards T20 cricket.
