Mumbai Indians' 2008 IPL Team: Where are they now?

Pollock was the coach of the Mumbai Indians

Abhishek Nayar was one of only four players who managed to play all the 14 matches for Mumbai in their first season.

He provided a lot of useful contributions with the bat for the first few years of his IPL career and he was even included in India’s squad to take on West Indies back in 2012-13. Unfortunately, he soon faded away and has not featured in a single game since 2015.

He continues to play for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy and is fighting to make a comeback to the IPL.

Shaun Pollock was one of the best bowlers in the world and arguably the greatest South African pacer till date along with the likes of Alan Donald and Dale Steyn.

He played a big role in Mumbai’s 2008 season having played in 13 out of the 14 matches. He picked up 11 wickets with an exceptional economy rate of 6.54.

2008 was the first and last season Pollock featured in the IPL after which he retired from the game. He was the coach for the Mumbai Indians for a couple of seasons as well.

Manish Pandey was a relatively unknown figure back in 2008. He had just come off India’s historic win in the 2008 U-19 world cup under Virat Kohli’s captaincy.

He hardly got a chance to make a mark for himself in the first season having played only 3 matches for MI. He rose to prominence in 2009 where he became the first Indian to score a century in the IPL for RCB.

He currently plays for the Kolkata Knight Riders. He was included in India’s squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 but was forced to pull out due to an injury he picked up during the IPL.
