His average strike rate was 4.40 and strike rate of 107.46 runs. Fans were disappointed that Mumbai chose a poor time to let go, as it wasPollard’s 35th birthday yesterday.
The West Indian player recently announced his retirement from all sorts of International cricket. The 35-year-old player was replaced by a Young South African Batsman, Tristian Stubbs. Stubbs is a right-handed wicket-keeper and batsman who rose to fame in South African domestic T20. Mumbai Indian captain Rohit Sharma stated, “ A couple of changes. We are keeping an eye on the future as well. We’ve left out Polly…” Mumbai is probably thinking about future IPLs and is replacing old players with young ones. It might also be the last season for Keiron Pollard with Mumbai Indians.
