Kieron Pollard Defends Hardik Pandya Amid IPL Criticism
Mumbai Indians' batting coach Kieron Pollard firmly stands up for Hardik Pandya following backlash over his performance in an IPL match against Chennai Super Kings. Pollard calls for supporting Pandya as he gears up for the T20 World Cup, emphasizing the team aspect of cricket and the need for players to evolve over time. Despite the recent dip in Pandya's performance, Pollard remains optimistic about his contributions and hard work. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians suffered a defeat against Chennai Super Kings despite Rohit Sharma's impressive century, as their chase fell 20 runs short of the target. Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana's four-wicket haul and Shivam Dube's quickfire 66 helped Chennai secure the victory. Pollard's comments suggest he expects the crowd to rally behind Pandya in the future, especially as the player takes on more responsibility and accountability with age.
