Kieron Pollard’s Shoulder injury not that serious, reveals http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 – Cricket News Update
The Mumbai Indians skipper, Harbhajan Singh, on Friday revealed that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KA-Pollard-c1754’s shoulder injury is not that serious and hoped to have him back in the squad soon.
Kieron Pollard, the 24-year-old hard-hitting Trinidad batsman, sustained the shoulder injury during Mumbai’s five-wicket win over Deccan Chargers at home on Sunday. The all-rounder missed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 on Thursday
night and is likely to make sidelines for another one week, until he completely recovers from the injury.
Harbhajan however, said that the Pollard’s injury is not a serious one and hoped to have the Windies all-rounder completely fit ahead of their match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, at Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, May 9, 2012.
"Pollard is doing well, he's recovering well, there is no tear and no muscle strain, but there's a bit of swelling in his shoulder," said the turbanator while speaking to the media reporters after prevailing in a thrilling IPL contest against Warriors by
just one run.
"We can't wait to have him back on the field as he is a great asset for us. When he clicks, he'll win us games singlehandedly. His bowling has been fantastic and we definitely miss him," he added further.
Harbhajan, who was appointed as Mumbai’s captain after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 stepped down ahead of the tournament, has led the side quite well in the tournament so far. However, he has completely failed to make an impact as an off-spinner, with only five wickets
in ten matches played.
Bhajji’s extended lean patch earned him a lot of criticism from pundits and former cricketers. But the offie does not seem to have been bothered by the criticism.
"I am happy [with my performance]. People have criticised me as if I've never taken wickets... There are other players in this competition also who have not taken wickets either, it's not only about me," said Harbhajan in an irked tone when asked about his
personal performance.
The Mumbai Indians, under Harbhajan, have so far won six out of ten matches played and stand at number three on IPL-V points table. They will next play Chennai Super Kings at home on May 6, 2012.
