IPL 2018: Each franchise's designated finisher

Mumbai Indians - Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard has been instrumental in Mumbai's success over the years

Nothing much needs to be said about the finishing abilities of the big man from the West Indies. He has played eight seasons with the Mumbai Indians and has time and again shown how valuable he is. He played a key role in all of their title roles as well. Kieron Pollard bossed many run chases, most famously with another Mumbai Indians veteran, Ambati Rayudu.

Though Rayudu is no longer a part of the Mumbai franchise, Pollard was retained for INR 5.4 crore. This amount is a steal considering the value Pollard brings to the team. He is a very mature cricketer who can bat ideally as per the situation. He is known for his ability to effortlessly smash the ball all over the park.

However, his value lies in the fact that he can play steadily and sensibly too if required. This makes him the ideal finisher, as he can help guide the Mumbai Indians to victory from any sort of situation.
