According to Kieron Pollard, the team’s strategy is to execute the full plan and focus less on details that are too far in the future.

Premier India bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not be rested in the Mumbai Indians’ final IPL games, according to hints made by assistant coach Kieron Pollard of the team. With just four victories in 12 games this season, five-time champion MI is having a difficult time and is now at ninth in the standings. There is still a remote mathematical possibility that they will make the playoffs.

With 18 wickets in 12 games, Bumrah is currently leading the Purple Cap race and has been MI’s most consistent bowler this season. To keep Bumrah healthy for the T20 World Cup in 2024, some supporters, however, are calling on Hardik Pandya and company to make the audacious choice to rest him for the remainder of the matches.

Pollard said they don’t have any such plans when he was questioned about it on Monday at the news conference following the game.

When asked if MI had any intentions to rest Bumrah for the next two matches in anticipation of the T20 World Cup, Pollard responded, “I certainly haven’t had any discussions about that,” to the media following the game.

The club intends to play the complete plan and not give too much thought to things that are too far ahead of them, according to the former MI all-rounder.

“I don’t believe that is my current duty or function. But let’s wait and see. The full IPL is what we are all here to play. Sometimes, planning too long in advance for certain events, including as World Cups, can have an impact on performances even before the team is chosen,” he continued.

Pollard went on to say that their primary goal is to close off the season strong.

“The most important thing for us and our camp is to finish the IPL and then wait and see what happens.” “I believe that concession will happen when he leaves the IPL and joins the Indian team,” Pollard continued.

On May 17, MI will play the Lucknow Super Giants at home in their final IPL match. On June 1, the USA and the West Indies will co-host the T20 World Cup.

Rohit Sharma made calls, instructing Hardik Pandya on the field for the SRH vs MI IPL 2024 match.

Two days after a viral video of Hardik Pandya instructing Rohit Sharma on fielding, the situation changed on Wednesday evening. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s aggressive performance led to Rohit taking over as captain. While Hardik remained captain, Rohit made calls, set the field, and chatted with bowlers, reminiscent of the old days, as Hardik ran out of ideas.

Rohit Sharma took control of the match against Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, reverting to his captaincy hat and making changes in the field. The video captured shows MI running for cover against Head and Sharma’s onslaught, showcasing the perfect role reversal in the match.

The game was a thrilling one with over 500 runs scored, 38 sixes hit, and the highest team total in an IPL match, breaking the 11-year record set by Royal Challengers Bengaluru. MI responded with the highest IPL total in a chase, but fell short by 31 runs, finishing with 246/5.

Head and Sharma took 19 and 17 balls respectively to score fiftys, with Head holding the record for the fastest fifty by an SRH batter. Sharma soon improved the record. The pitch at Uppal was ideal for batters, but the carnage unfolded unexpectedly. By the halfway stage, SRH were at 148/1, the highest IPL score at the end of 10 overs, causing a pandemonium that blew MI away.

SRH’s batting was the closest the world came to experiencing a repeat of Chris Gayle’s 2013 Chinnaswamy match. Cricket websites struggled to provide live updates as every second ball was carted away for six. The only difference is that back then, it was a one-man show, while today, all SRH batters had fun at the expense of MI.

Head hit a 24-ball 62, Sharma hit a 23-ball 63, and Heinrich Klaasen’s unbeaten 80 off 34 set SRH a record. Aiden Markram’s 42 not out off 28 at a strike-rate of 150 was also noteworthy, as it was a bonkers performance.

MI dominated the match with a strong performance, raising their fifty in three overs with Ishan Kishan and Rohit. Kishan hit a hat-trick of sixes against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, while Rohit maintained the pace with his powerful hitting. Tilak Varma also contributed with three consecutive sixes off Shahbaz Ahmed, bringing up a half-century off 24 balls.

The asking rate was too high, causing pressure on Naman Dhir and Tilak. Pandya joined Tilak, but Hardik slowed down, and Tilak perished. Tim David tried with 42 not out off 22 balls, but failed.
