Stand-in captain Kieron Pollard may have blundered in his strategies which led to Mumbai Indians (MI) losing to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 20 runs. Within the Indian Premier League (IPL). On previous West Indies captain, Brian Lara has said. Lara said that Pollard might have given Bumrah the ball within the center. Then overs a bit more input of one of the two spinners to keep the weight on CSK. Whereas they were losing wickets.
“They (CSK) should have been done and dusted by the Mumbai Indians. There are a few things that Kieron Pollard did out there that I felt he didn’t really press the gas. At the right time and sort of just came off the pedal. And allowed the Chennai Super Kings to get back into the match. But I felt that you make it easy, you can’t have Bumrah just bowling one over at that stage,” Brian Lara said
Thus, CSK went from being 24/4 to finish the innings on 156/6 with opener Ruturaj Gaikwad finishing at that point innings unbeaten on 88 off 58 balls. The win made a difference in the jump to the beat of the table.
Mumbai Indians
“I can’t blame the Mumbai Indians bowlers, but I just felt that they could have done a little bit better tactically. I think it’s more tactical. You’ve got two spinners that you most likely will have to use at some point in time. I wouldn’t necessarily say the bowlers were bad. I felt if they had used them properly, no way 156 was on the card for Chennai Super Kings,” he added.
