“Yes, MS Dhoni Hit 3 Sixes But…”: Kieron Pollard’s Stunning ‘Game-Changer’ Remark In MI’s Defeat | Cricket News

[ad_1] Mumbai Indians batting coach Kieron Pollard is "sick and fed up" of people pinpointing particular individuals for the team's losses as he urged fans not to "nitpick" struggling captain Hardik Pandya after MI lost to Chennai Super Kings by 20 runs in their Indian Premier League match.
