#3 Kieron Pollard, the six hitting monster
Kieron Pollard’s abilities as a finisher are well-known, but the man from West Indies has always been blamed for having poor composure. However, that now seems to be a thing of the past and in IPL 2017 this right-hand batsman has some real maturity with the willow – emerging as a reliable batsman in the middle order. Hence against Kolkata on Friday, he can be Mumbai’s ace weapon.
In IPL 2017, Pollard averages 30 with the bat but his six hitting ability is what makes him special. The small boundaries at Chinnaswamy stadium further increase the threat of Pollard as even mishits can easily over the ropes in this ground.
At this venue, Pollard has a strike rate of 154.28 and in nine innings he has hit 48 boundaries (21 fours and 17 sixes).
The veteran man from the Carribean is in tremendous form as he has hit three fifties so far this season and if he can get his eye in, the KKR bowling might just be in for a harsh lesson.
