DUBAI: In Rohit Sharma's absence, West Indies star allrounder Kieron Pollard has led Mumbai Indians on various occasions. In the DP World ILT20, being played in the UAE, Pollard has been given a full-time charge as MI Emirates captain and the swashbuckling allrounder is ready for the new challenge.
“Personally, I still have the drive and burning desire to play cricket that keeps pushing me. As a leader, I am going to continue to guide these guys because they have played cricket before and that’s the reason why they are here. So, it’s a matter of putting all the pieces of the puzzle together and play an exciting cricket that MI is known to play,” Pollard said ahead of MI Emirates’ opening game against Sharjah Warriors on Saturday.
