Mumbai, April 23: Mumbai Indians today heaved a sigh of relief after key all-rounder Kieron Pollard was found fit for Sunday’s Indian Premier League final even though there remains a cloud of doubt over captain Sachin Tendulkar’s availability.
“There is no problem with Pollard. He’s fit,” team sources said here today.
In that match, Pollard was seen limping during the semifinal tie against Royal Challengers Bangalore last night while batting as well as bowling even though it did not deter the big-built West Indian from dishing out a superb all-round display.
“He had some cramps, but he’s okay now,” the sources added.
The Trinidadian struck a belligerent 33 not out in 13 balls with three sixes, bowled his four overs tightly to pick up three vital wickets and effected a run out as well to bag the man of the match award as Mumbai Indians won the match by 35 runs.
