Kieron Pollard aiming to do better in CLT20 than IPL 4 – Cricket News Update
Mumbai Indians’ blazing all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KA-Pollard-c1754, is determined to come up with a far better performance than the one he showed during the fourth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
In 16 matches of the fourth edition of the lucrative league, the West Indian all-rounder collected just 146 runs at an average of 14.60 which is pretty low than his overall Twenty20 average of 26.23.
However, the Caribbean superstar is confident to make up for his lacklustre show in the IPL, saying that he will look to do well at any position in the batting order.
”Any cricketer would love to grab the opportunity to bat high up the order and try to maximise the time. Having said that, there are 11 players out there, and it is the team management that decides on these matters. Whatever the position that I am slotted
into, I will do my best and see we qualify for the semi-finals this year,” said Pollard who has an excellent strike rate of 162.63 in the shortest version of the sport.
The 24-year-old all-rounder has had a strange situation while coming into the CL T20. He represenhttp://www.senore.com/Cricket/Somerset-c843, in this year’s domestic Twenty20 competition. Yet, he preferred playing for Mumbai Indians whom he stood
for in the IPL.
Responding to the questions about his choice, the dazzling batsman shared, “I did not see any dilemma, and at the end of the day, I play for Mumbai Indians. It was the team that I was thinking about and I played for Mumbai.”
Although, the Mumbai Indians reached the semi-final round of the IPL, their chances in the CLT20 are not bright since the captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, will not be there to inspire them.
Despite conceding that the Master Blaster batsman was the key factor in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820’s outstanding performance in the latest IPL season, Pollard is optimistic about his team’s chances in the Champions League.
He added that since the players are well prepared for the battle, it will not be a child’s play for the other outfits to crush Mumbai Indians.
