Kieron Adrian Pollard, a T20 specialist, was acquired by Mumbai Indians with a maximum allowed bid of $750,000 at the 2010 IPL auction. The Trinidadian batsman has scored 7594 runs in T20 format with a strike rate of 150.97, becoming the fifth player in the world to score over 7000 runs. With his big hitting ability, he has hit more sixes (491) than boundaries (486) in his entire T20 career. The All-rounder has picked 241 wickets in his T20 career with his slow medium pace bowling style.

Pollard showed a great performance for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2013, by scoring 60 runs from 32 balls when the team was 52 for 4 down, thus leading the Mumbai Indians to their first IPL title. The aggressive all-rounder has scored 2343 runs, taken 56 wickets and caught 70 catches for Mumbai Indians.

Pollard’s inclusion will definitely strengthen their lower middle order batting line up as well as the fielding division for the team.
