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.” Published – April 30, 2026 05:08 pm IST Share this: Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Click to share on Threads (Opens in new window) Threads Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window) Telegram Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email More Click to print (Opens in new window) Print Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window) Pocket Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon Click to share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window) Nextdoor Click to share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky Like this:Like Loading...
