Former MI Skipper Harbhajan Singh has appointed 2 all-rounders who should take the place of Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard in MI’s lineup for IPL 2023. While Pandya leave the franchise earlier in the 2022 season, Pollard retired from the IPL ahead of the 2023 IPL edition of the league.
Pandya and Pollard were 2 of the most essential performer for the Mumbai Indians over the last 8 years. Their stormy batting skills, pace-bowling capability, and top-quality fielding assisted MI to become champions in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. Pollard was additionally a part of the MI team that won IPL 2013.
The lack of the 2 all-rounders left a huge hole in the MI team, but Harbhajan Singh thinks Australian performers Tim David and Cameron Green can do the same job as Pollard and Pandya for the Mumbai-based franchise.
In a talk with Star Sports before today, Singh said:
“Well, they will be successful if Tim David can do the same thing that Pollard was doing and whether Green can do what Hardik was doing.”
Pandya was prepared by the Gujarat Titans ahead of IPL 2022. He was appointed the skipper and led the franchise to the IPL title in their primary season themselves. Pollard, at the same time, was named MI’s batting coach after he called time on his performing career in the IPL.
Harbhajan Singh Thinks Tim David and Cameron Green will have to perform well
Harbhajan Singh is a multi-time IPL winner. He said:
“But yes, they do have the potential, but IPL is such a tournament that if you start to get going from day one, you will have a good season. If you don’t get going, and you have to find that rhythm, it gets very difficult,” Harbhajan Singh added.
