“Blame Hardik Pandya…” Kieron Pollard gave a big statement on Mumbai losing the match.

Kieron Pollard said this on Hardik Pandya’s decision to bat at number seven. Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard (Image Credit- Twitter The losing streak of Mumbai Indians in the opening match of IPL continued for the 12th consecutive year. In this match held on Sunday, Mumbai lost to its new captain Hardik Pandya’s former team Gujarat Titans. Hardik batted at number seven in this match and his decision surprised many people. However, this decision was not taken only by Hardik but by the entire team management, said Mumbai batting coach Kieron Pollard. In this match, Mumbai team was in a good position while chasing the challenge of 169 runs given by Gujarat. They needed 43 runs from 30 balls with seven batsmen left. However, Mumbai could score only seven runs in the next two overs and lost the wicket of Dewald Brevis (46) who was frozen to the ground. After this, instead of batting at number six, Hardik sent Tim David. Former cricketer Irfan Pathan had also raised questions on this decision of Hardik. Actually, Tim David could score only 11 runs in 10 balls. Then Hardik, who came to bat at number seven, hit a six and a four respectively on the first two balls of the last over. However, Mumbai’s hopes of victory ended when Umesh Yadav was dismissed on the third ball of the over and ultimately Mumbai lost by six runs. Kieron Pollard supported Hardik Pandya’s decision to bat at number seven. They said, “It would be wrong to say that the decision to bat at number seven was Hardik alone. As a team we plan. We consider which batsman can perform best in which conditions of the match. In this match our opening batsmen batted for a long time. Apart from this, we had two batsmen who had the ability to hit in the last over. David played the role of a match-winner for us last season.” “When Hardik was in Mumbai, he has been winning us matches for years. But sometimes they may also fail. Only Hardik should not be blamed. This was the decision of all of us and we support Hardik.” Pollard came out in support of his captain, so it is not right to blame Hardik alone for any decision.

Did Mumbai Indians not want Rohit to become captain again? This revelation of Sidhu will create chaos again

Rohit Sharma is playing as a player, this is not the first time. Captain Rohit Sharma in MI dressing room (Photo Source: MumbaiIndians/Twitter) Ahead of IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians decided to trade Hardik Pandya to Gujarat Titans and also appointed him as the captain of their team. He took over the captaincy from Rohit Sharma, which was a shock to many as Rohit Sharma is one of the most successful captains in the history of the tournament. Under his leadership, Mumbai won the title in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020, but failed to win any title in the last three years. With an aim to change this, the Mumbai management appointed Hardik as the new captain as under his leadership Gujarat won the title in 2022 and qualified for the finals in 2023. After being removed from the captaincy, Rohit is still in the team and continues to be a specialist batsman for Mumbai. Speaking about the same, former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu said that there should be no problem for a great batsman like Rohit Sharma as this is not the first time he is playing as a player. Sidhu gave this statement regarding Rohit Sharma Sidhu said that he has played in an Indian team in which many captains have come and gone, so Rohit can keep pace with Mumbai Indians in the IPL as well. Sidhu while talking to Star Sports said, “Rohit Sharma is playing as a player, this is not the first time. I have played in an Indian team where there are five former captains. He was playing with me, I have played among captains like Dilip Vengsarkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Ravi Shastri, Srikkanth, in which I have seen five captains playing together on the field. But there was no problem at that time because we all were playing for the country.” “MS Dhoni has also given his captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. Mumbai franchise could have made Pandya the captain like Ruturaj Gaikwad but no, the franchise saw that Rohit could not lead the team to any IPL title in three years, so they made Pandya the captain. He also said that to become a player like Rohit, one has to work hard.”
