IPL 2026 | MI batting coach Pollard not ready to throw in the towel yet

Kieron Pollard isn’t ready to concede the Indian Premier League season just yet. Even as Mumbai Indians slumped to a sixth defeat in eight games — failing to defend 243 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede — the batting coach struck a note of defiance, insisting the fight within the group remains intact.

“We need to play that complete game of cricket to win a match because it’s getting difficult, the way the game is going,” Pollard said. “But what I can safely say, in the dressing room, the spirits of the guys — they are willing and wanting to fight.”
