Hardik Pandya speaks out about the disappearance of ex-MI teammate Kieron Pollard.
“Wish Polly (Pollard) to have the best day for him, but we win. I messaged him a few days ago, saying. “I hope you’re okay and doing well.” I mentioned that we miss you around here. In a lighthearted tone, I joked, ‘You never know, you might come to us next year!’ “It’s my wish, but I know it’ll never come true,” Hardik said in a video posted by GT.
Pollard, on the other hand, has been discolored this season. The Windies power-hitter has only 129 runs from ten matches, averaging 14.33 and a strike rate of 109.32, with a highest score of 25. The big man has also not made an impact in the wickets column, with only three scalps to his name. He will now be hoping to make amends in the remaining fixtures as MI look to bow out in style with a few more victories.
Coming back to the ongoing contest, the coin landed in favor of GT skipper Hardik Pandya and he decided to bowl first. Kieron Pollard has been named to the Mumbai Indians’ starting lineup. Gujarat would like to secure a playoff spot with this win.
