IPL 2019: 4 overseas players who should have been released by their teams

#3 Mumbai Indians- Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard was one of the players slated to be released but the Mumbai Indians seem to have faith in him. Pollard had a poor IPL and managed to score just 133 runs in 9 innings despite the team letting him bat in his favorite position. His fielding, which was one of his biggest strengths, has not been at the level it was earlier too.

While one might argue that his performances in other T20 leagues is better, it's clear that the big West Indian is far from his best in the IPL, and if the Mumbai side had opted to release him, an overseas slot would have opened up and they could have looked at a younger, more thirsty and energetic all rounders like Sam Curran or batsmen like Shimron Hetmyer.
