Mumbai Indians batting coach Kieron Pollard is tired and fed up of people pinpointing particular individuals for the team’s losses as he urged fans not to nitpick struggling captain Hardik Pandya. Mumbai Indians lost to Chennai Super Kings by 20 runs in their Indian Premier League match in Mumbai. MS Dhoni took 20 runs off Pandya’s final four balls, with three consecutive sixes. Pandya struggled with the bat, managing only two runs off six balls. Pollard defended Pandya, stating that cricket is a team sport and everyone has good and bad days. He highlighted Pandya’s hard work and reminded fans about his potential in the upcoming T20 World Cup, saying that if he performs well, everyone will be praising him. Pollard emphasized the need to encourage Pandya and stop nitpicking. Former England captain Kevin Pietersen criticized Pandya, claiming that he has been smiling too much. However, Pollard sees Pandya evolving and believes in his ability to turn things around. He mentioned that Dhoni’s onslaught could have happened to anyone and that Mumbai Indians would revisit their plans. Pollard also talked about the importance of analyzing and executing plans against top players like Dhoni, Kohli, Sharma, and Pandya.
