IPL 2021: Looking Forward To Repeat What We Did Last Year In UAE, Says MI All-Rounder Pollard

Mumbai: Mumbai Indians star all-rounder Kieron Pollard is eyeing to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the same way he won in 2020 in the UAE. In the final of IPL 2020, Mumbai Indians won the title by defeating Delhi Capitals.

Last year’s IPL was played in the UAE, and since the second part of the cash-rich league is also being staged in the UAE in 2021, Pollard is looking to repeat the team’s run.

“Yeah looking forward, obviously going downstairs in that team room and try to bond again and get started. Looking forward to finishing the IPL and hopefully repeat what we did here last year. Good memories for us,” Pollard said in a video posted on Mumbai Indians twitter.

Pollard arrived here on Thursday to join the team bubble ahead of the resumption of the 14th edition of the IPL. The West Indies skipper recently captained Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2021.

The 14th season, which was postponed in May this year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, will resume on September 19 in Dubai with a blockbuster clash between Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Mumbai Indians.

After the CSK-MI clash, the action will shift to Abu Dhabi where KKR will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore. Sharjah will host its first game on September 24 when Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Chennai Super Kings.

In total, there will be 13 matches in Dubai, 10 in Sharjah and 8 in Abu Dhabi, meanwhile, the IPL will welcome fans to the stadium after a brief hiatus due to the COVID-19 situation.
