Pollard-Cummins will not play; IPL is losing stars

After the T20 World Cup, when the date of another ‘mini auction’ of the IPL is approaching, the big stars of this format are stepping aside one by one. Kieron Pollard has announced that he will not play in the IPL after Australian pacer Pat Cummins. However, this Caribbean will be seen in a different role in Mumbai Indians. However, he will coach the Mumbai team in the new league in the UAE, not in the IPL team in Mumbai.

Pollard was picked by Mumbai in 2010 through a secret tiebreaker. Since then, Pollard has played in Rohit Sharma’s team. Every season, Mumbai has retained Pollard before the auction. In the 2022 edition, he was kept by the most successful team of the IPL with about 8 lakh US dollars. But Pollard scored only 144 runs in 11 matches at an average of 14.40 and a strike rate of 107.46. This was Pollard’s worst season in the IPL. His team’s performance was also pathetic.

In a joint statement with Mumbai on Tuesday, Pollard said, “The decision was not easy for me as I want to play for a few more years. However, after discussions with Mumbai Indians, I have decided to say goodbye to the IPL. It’s a great franchise. Those who have great achievements. I think they need to change now. Also, if I don’t play for Mumbai Indians, I can’t imagine myself against Mumbai. ‘

The current cricketers of the West Indies are called ‘T20 ferrymen’. Wherever there is a T20 league in the world, they will dominate. Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard is at the forefront of the Caribbean cricketers in terms of records. Pollard made another record in T20 last night.

Pollard became the first cricketer in history to play 600 matches in T20. The former Caribbean captain made the feat while playing for London Spirit against Manchester Originals in England’s 100-ball cricket The Hundred at Lord’s on Monday. Although it is a 100-ball game, it is considered a T20 in statistics.

There is no one around Pollard with the record of playing matches in this format. His compatriot Dwayne Bravo is at number two, having played 543 matches. Apart from this, no other cricketer could play 500 matches.

Pollard scored 34 runs in 11 balls with the help of four and four sixes on the day of the milestone. His team won by 52 runs.

After ODIs, it was India’s turn to win the T20 series against the West Indies. Rohit Sharma will play a regular match against Pollards in Eden on Sunday. Despite this, India is not willing to show any emotion in today’s match. Because Rohit’s goal is to whitewash the Caribbeans even in the twenty-twenty format like ODIs.

However, the team is not getting Virat Kohli and Rishabh Panth in today’s match. Naturally, therefore, multiple changes are going to come in the team on this day. Reserve bench cricketers may also be seen.

This year again the T-20 World Cup. Before that, India wants to take a look at the cricketers. To that end, the selectors have rested Kohli and Rishabh for the upcoming Sri Lanka series. The same picture will be seen in the third and final match against West Indies. It is rumored that Shreyas Iyer and Rituraj Gaikwad may be added to the starting XI today.

Dwayne Bravo pokes fun at Kieron Pollard as CSK star claims 16th T20 title

BUDDY — Sat, 16 Oct 2021 18:42:05 +0000

On Friday, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won their fourth title, defeating Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 27 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 final at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

It was a special moment for the Super Kings as they made a comeback in the fourteenth season of the cash-rich league after failing to qualify for the playoffs in the previous edition. Like every CSK player, it was a cherishing moment for star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo as he set a new world record to bag his 16th T20 title.

Not only this, but Bravo also went past his good friend and West Indies teammate Kieron Pollard as both cricketers were tied on 15 titles each before the second leg of IPL 2021 began in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

After the match, Bravo took a sly dig at Pollard and reminded the Windies skipper that he has some catching up to do. It all happened after commentator Simon Doull asked Bravo, “DJ, have you text Kieron yet”?

To this, Bravo answered and said: “Well, the first thing I’m going to do when I turn on my phone – let Kieron Pollard know this is the 16th. He has some catching up to do.”

Most T20 titles:

16 – Dwayne Bravo
15 – Kieron Pollard
12 – Shoaib Malik
10 – Rohit Sharma
9 – Lasith Malinga

Speaking about the turnaround of CSK, Bravo credited the success to the team management. The West Indies star heaped praises on Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad for a consistent run in the fourteenth season.

“Belief in the squad from management, owners. After last season was really disappointed. Owed it to the franchise, the fans to come up with a better performance. Don’t get nervous (coming into a final). Have had a good performance in different phases of the tournament. Faf and Ruturaj stand out for us. To have these two guys scoring over 500 runs together. Experience beats youth any day,” added Bravo.
