A gifted player who was equally effective with the bat and ball, South-African Shaun Pollock’s all-round ability made him stand out amongst the crowd of cricketers in his generation.

Following his retirement from international cricket, Pollock was bought by the Mumbai Indians for USD$550,000. In the 13 matches he featured for the side, the pacer picked up 11 wickets at a healthy economy of 6.54 apart from playing the pinch-hitter's role on some occasions to end with 147 runs from eight innings and a strike rate of 132.43.

In Sachin Tendulkar’s absence from the squad, Pollock captained the side on a couple of occasions as well.

After retiring from the game, Pollock served as the full-time mentor-cum-bowling coach of the Mumbai Indians from 2009 and forged an important alliance with Robin Singh before Anil Kumble took over from Pollock in 2013.
