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.
