IPL 2018: 5 players who will be crucial in deciding the IPL opener between MI and CSK

#3 Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard has been playing a vital role for Mumbai for the last several years

Kieron Pollard is amongst the best power hitters in the world and is capable of hitting any bowler out of the fence.

The West Indian is with the Mumbai Indians since 2010 and was the main force behind their last three IPL titles. However, they opted not to retain him and decided to sign him through the auctions, in which they succeeded.

He has 147 IPL sixes to his name and has scored 2343 runs in 123 matches. He averages 28.92 runs per game and has an impressive strike rate of 146.52. The aggressive all-rounder is a death-over specialist and has 56 wickets.
