Pollard: ‘Nothing is going to faze me’ as MI head coach

Newly appointed Mumbai Indians head coach Kieron Pollard stated that nothing will faze him as he looks to revitalize the franchise. Pollard, who previously served as the team's batting coach after ending his IPL playing career in 2022, emphasized that he wants his players to be brave and overcome the fear of failure to reverse MI's recent dry spell since their last title in 2020.

Pollard highlighted man management, personal communication, and tactical balance as central to his approach. He also praised former head coach Mahela Jayawardene's detailed planning and tactical genius, noting that adapting to modern T20 scoring trends while balancing data with natural player instinct will be essential for success.
