Mumbai Indians batting coach Kieron Pollard turned back the clock with a thunderous net session at Wankhede Stadium, unleashing his trademark sixes. The former West Indies powerhouse, known for redefining T20 finishing, left fans nostalgic with a display of brute force reminiscent of his playing days.

Pollard’s 223 sixes in 12 IPL seasons place him seventh on the all-time list, trailing only legends like Chris Gayle. Once MI’s go-to finisher, he now mentors budding talents within the franchise’s global T20 network.

Kieron Pollard's Massive Punches Trigger Nostalgia

Ahead of MI’s clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the franchise shared a clip of Pollard demolishing spinners in practice. True to his style, most hits sailed straight down the ground, with one strike even smashing a courtside camera.

Though retired from the league to avoid representing rival teams, Kieron Pollard remains active elsewhere. He recently hammered 11 sixes for MI Emirates in the 2025 ILT20, proving his prowess endures.

MI Seek Consistency Amid Mid-Season Struggles

Meanwhile, under Hardik Pandya, MI showed flashes of revival with a dominant win over Delhi Capitals. However, their mixed home record, a commanding victory against Kolkata Knight Riders followed by a narrow loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, highlights their unpredictability.

On the other hand, Hyderabad, fresh from scripting the IPL’s second-highest chase (246) against Punjab Kings, aim to build momentum. Their clash with MI promises fireworks as both teams scramble to climb the standings. 

As Pollard’s net session revives memories of his glory days, MI will hope their batters channel similar aggression to outgun SRH’s resurgent lineup.
