Pollard’s Blitz Sends MI New York to MLC Final!
Kieron Pollard, the Mumbai Indians’ batting coach, proved his all-round prowess is far from over. Even at 38, he remains a force to be reckoned with on the international stage.
On Friday night in Dallas, Pollard delivered a stunning performance for MI New York in the Major League Cricket (MLC) tournament. His unbeaten 47 runs off just 22 balls powered his team to victory.
The Texas Super Kings, initially favourites for the final, were left reeling by Pollard’s explosive innings. ESPNcricinfo reported on the dramatic turnaround.
This electrifying display on July 11, 2025, not only secured MI New York’s place in the MLC final but also highlights the enduring value of experienced players in the increasingly competitive world of T20 cricket. His performance raises questions about the future role of veteran players in franchise leagues globally.
