Kieron Pollard suggests that Jasprit Bumrah won’t get a break in the next games: “We all intend to participate in the entire IPL.”

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.

Lionel Messi’s final jab at Cristiano in a million-dollar text message for Lyon’s Argentina player: “Don’t listen to Ronaldo”

Published

on

French club Lyon stoked the flames of the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry in their announcement video for Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada.

With the January football transfer window currently open and clubs across Europe looking to add talent to their rosters for the run-in in the second half of the season, French team Olympique Lyonnais have made the exciting signing of Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada. Almada joins on an initial loan from Brazilian club Botafogo, but his announcement was made in style in the latest in a long line of iconic transfer videos.

The 23-year-old midfielder’s signing was announced through a video shared by Lyon in which he receives a text message from ‘Lionel’ along with a goat emoji, clearly meant to be the legendary Lionel Messi, Almada’s compatriot and teammate in the Argentine national team. The text sent to Almada in this video reads “Don’t listen to Cristiano, Ligue 1 is incredible.”

Lyon’s retribution for Ronaldo’s comments
The text provides a sneaky tongue-in-cheek remark from the seven-time French champions, who are referencing Cristiano Ronaldo’s past comment regarding Ligue 1 being a weaker competition than the Saudi Pro League, where he currently plies his trade for Al Nassr. Ronaldo had claimed there was a better standard of football in Saudi Arabia, with the French league considered the weakest of the ‘top five’ leagues in Europe.

Messi, meanwhile, spent two years playing in France, having spent a period in the capital with Paris Saint-Germain after leaving Barcelona. Messi was the latest star at PSG, playing alongside Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe, before the trio was broken up as they left France with Messi heading to Inter Miami, Neymar to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, and Mbappe finally getting his marquee move to Real Madrid.

Almada was part of the Argentina squad that lifted the World Cup trophy in Qatar in 2022, helping Messi finally get his hands on the coveted trophy and firmly setting his status as the greatest of all time in stone. Almada has represented Argentina six times, scoring twice, and finally earned a move to Europe after playing for Atlanta United in the MLS and a brief spell in the Brazilian Serie A at Botafogo. Almada will be joining fellow Argentine Nicolas Tagliafico, who also made a cameo appearance in the announcement video.

Lyon currently sit in sixth place in the Ligue 1 table with half the season concluded, but will have intentions of fighting for spots in next year’s UEFA Champions League with a strong end to the season, in which Almada could play an important role.
