‘We’re All Again Going To Be Singing 'Bumrah, Bumrah'; Let's Cut Him A Little Slack’: Pollard
The remarks came after the Mumbai Indians suffered a heavy six-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, where even a daunting total of 243 proved insufficient. Bumrah, one of the side’s key bowlers, has managed just two wickets in eight matches so far, though he continues to maintain the best economy rate among MI bowlers.
Addressing questions around Bumrah’s form, Pollard defended the Indian pacer and highlighted the pressures faced by players performing under constant scrutiny. "We are unfortunate, you know, to always be in the public eye. So when we do bad, it's always being highlighted. But when normal people have jobs and they send the wrong email, they have the opportunity to edit the words and all these things. We don't have the opportunity. So it's fair and fine when you're not doing well, you accept certain things. And knowing the individual, I know he's going to bounce back with greater heights and take wickets,” Pollard said in the post-match press conference.
