Mumbai Indians made a huge mistake by retiring this player, bowlers are still the biggest enemy in the second T20 league.

Mumbai Indians: The performance of Mumbai Indians, which has won the Indian Premier League title 5 times, has not been good in the last 2 seasons. MI, which somehow reached the playoffs in 2023 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, finished last in 2024 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. That player was watching all this sitting on the chair, who has become a terror for the bowlers in the second T20 league but has been retired by MI from IPL.

The team made this player retire

Mumbai Indians had retired their team's veteran all-rounder and former West Indies captain Kieron Pollard before IPL 2023. MI had probably considered Pollard to be a failure as a player and appointed him as the team's batting coach after his retirement, whereas Pollard still plays in most of the T20 leagues in the world and proves to be a big threat to the bowlers.

MI had taken the decision because of this player

Mumbai Indians had included explosive batsman Tim David from Australia in their team. The team thought that David would fill the void of Pollard but it did not happen. David could not contribute to the team like Pollard and MI's performance is in front of everyone.

Big role in the success of the team

Kieron Pollard has played an important role in Mumbai Indians' huge success in IPL. Pollard joined Mumbai Indians in 2010 and played as a player till 2022. During this period, he played a big role in making Mumbai champion 5 times. During this period, he scored 3412 runs in 189 matches with the help of 16 half-centuries. His strike rate was 147.32. As a batsman, Pollard has helped MI win such matches which were out of reach of the team. At the same time, this player has also taken 69 wickets. MI has not yet found Pollard's replacement.
