IPL 2018: 5 players who must be dropped from their respective teams

#2 Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard has been a mainstay in the Mumbai Indians team ever since he joined them in 2010. He played a crucial role in his team winning the title in 2013, 2015 and 2017 respectively. Undoubtedly he has been one of the best all-rounders in the IPL history.

Pollard who is one of the hardest hitters of the ball in the world has failed to fire in the ongoing season. Pollard has not bowled a single over in this season and this indicates that he is being played as a batsman rather than a bowler.

In the 6 matches that he has played so far, he has scored 63 runs at an average of 15.75 and a strike rate of 110.52. His scores this season are 28, 0, 5, 21*, 9. His strike rate is one of the biggest concerns for the team.

JP Duminy who has been warming the benches is an ideal replacement for Pollard in the playing XI. Duminy carries enough of experience as a batsman and he can be handy with the ball too.
