Jasprit Bumrah: Five-time champion Mumbai Indians is almost out of the race for the IPL playoffs. However, the team is not thinking of giving rest to its key players, especially Jasprit Bumrah. Mumbai Indians batting coach Kieron Pollard said that the team has no intention of giving a break to fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Jasprit Bumrah is in excellent form at the moment. He has taken maximum 17 wickets in IPL 2024.
Mumbai Indians defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets on Monday. In this, Suryakumar Yadav scored his second century in IPL. This was Mumbai’s fourth win in these 12 matches. On the question of giving rest to Bumrah before the T20 World Cup, Pollard said, “We have not talked about it. I don’t think it’s my job but let’s see what happens. We are all here to play the entire IPL. Our aim is to end IPL. Let’s see what happens after that.
Kieron Pollard said that the toughest job of being a batting coach is to control the aggressive game of a batsman like Suryakumar. He is a naturally aggressive batsman. He wants to hit every ball. Meanwhile the most difficult task for a batting coach is to change his natural style but does not require too much control as there are a lot of runs being scored in cricket these days.
