Mumbai Indians' all-time best XI in IPL history
Mumbai Indians have won all their IPL titles in odd years: 2013, 2015, 2017 and most recently in 2019.
5. Kieron Pollard
Kieron Pollard has been with Mumbai Indians for a decade now. His performances in the 2009 CLT20 and the Big Bash made him one of the most sought after players in the 2010 auction. After some aggressive bidding by the Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians managed to win a silent tie-breaker which made Pollard the joint highest-paid player in the 2010 IPL auction.
He has been loyal to the franchise and has seen it all, whether they have been winning IPL trophies or they have had a poor season which led them to miss out on a playoff spot.
He is known to be a powerful batsman who can clear the ropes with ease. Unlike Rohit and Rayudu, ‘Polly’ won’t be the most consistent batsman but he has the ability to win the match on his own if he gets into his groove. In recent times, he has followed a slow approach in the beginning of his innings but once he takes off, it is very difficult to stop him.
Pollard scored 60* in just 32 balls in the 2013 IPL final as Mumbai Indians went on to win their maiden IPL title. Last year, he smashed 10 sixes in a single innings as his score of 83 helped Mumbai defeat Kings XI Punjab. The Caribbean giant has scored a total of 2755 runs with a brilliant strike rate of 146.77 and picked up 56 wickets in his IPL career which has lasted 148 matches so far.
