Mumbai: Have Mumbai Indians found a successor to the big-hitting Kieron Pollard? The West Indian has starred for the five-time IPL champions with some stunning jailbreaks. However, this season it has not quite gone right for the Trinidadian, leading him to be left out of the playing XI for the last few games.
But MI have invested heavily in Tim David, paying the Singapore-born Australian Rs 8.25 crore at the auctions. After an indifferent start, leading him to be dropped, the burly allrounder won a couple of games for the franchise with his big-hitting. He looked to be doing the same at a throbbing Wankhede on a balmy Tuesday as MI needed an improbable 45 runs off 18 balls to hunt down Sunrisers Hyderabad's 193/6. David hit T Natarajan for four sixes to get the equation down to 19 off 13 balls.
