"Kieron Pollard will have to reinvent his game," says Ian Bishop

Former West Indies player Ian Bishop said Mumbai Indians all-rounder Kieron Pollard is not finished with his playing career but needs to reinvent his game. It looks like Pollard is running out of steam in IPL 2022 with his power to finish matches with a big-hitting spree has been curtailed.

The 35-year-old has amassed 144 runs in 11 innings at an average of 14.4 and a strike rate of 107.45. In the match against Gujarat Titans last Friday, Pollard was cleaned up by leg-spinner Rashid Khan. He made only four runs in 14 deliveries. Moreover, he failed to rise up to the occasion when MI needed 53 runs in the last three overs and was run out for 15 runs in 16 balls.

With Singapore-born batter Tim David's rise to prominence as a finisher for MI, pundits reckoned him to be the future of the franchise. Meanwhile, everyone called him curtains on Pollard's stint with the IPL giants.

However, Bishop believes Pollard has much to offer in the coming years. He also recounted those instances where the West Indies all-rounder single-handedly won matches for MI in the cash-rich league.

"Pollard himself has to reinvent his game": Ian Bishop

"Pollard himself has to reinvent his game, however, he chooses to do that, because he's still got a future ahead of him we hope. People are saying he's washed, I'm not going to go there. I think he's a player who can reinvent himself"

Ian Bishop told ESPNCricinfo

"Yeah, they (Mumbai Indians) are keeping faith and being loyal to a great player for them. We have to have long memories – when I say we, in the media; fans, some fans anyway, have short memories.

"You look at Pollard's numbers when Mumbai have won the championships: 400 runs <420> in 2013 at 42, up to 2019 and 2020, where he averaged over 30 with a strike rate sometimes in the 160s to 190s <156.74 in 2019, 191.42 in 2020> – he's been integral to them. You can't forget that as a franchise, so they're giving him every possible chance," he added.

In the middle of IPL 2022, Pollard announced his retirement from international cricket. He has played for almost 15 years in the West Indies colors.

Lowest strike rates of Kieron Pollard in an IPL season:

Year Innings Runs Strike Rate
2022 11 144 107.46*

IPL 2025 Restart: Here's the playoff scenarios before IPL 2025 resumes

The 18th season of Indian Premier League (IPL) will resume on May 17 after a week-long break with the remaining seven teams in contention for playoffs. According to the revised IPL 2025 schedule, the remaining 13 league matches will be played across six venues. The league stage commences on May 27.

The revised IPL 2025 schedule meant a few teams will be deprived of home advantage. While Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (16 points each) are most likely to enter the final four, things could get tight for the likes of Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings.

Ahead of the IPL 2025 resumption, let's take a look at the qualification scenarios of all the seven teams in contention for playoffs. Notably, Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad are officially out from the race to playoffs.

Only five teams can reach to the 18-point mark after the league stage. That means, 18 points could possibly be the cut-off for the teams in the race for playoffs.

IPL 2025 Points Table before resumption

Rank Teams Matches Win Loss NR Points NRR
1 Gujarat Titans 11 8 3 0 16 +0.793
2 Royal Challengers Bengaluru 11 8 3 0 16 +0.482
3 Punjab Kings 11 7 3 1 15 +0.376
4 Mumbai Indians 12 7 5 0 14 +1.156

9 Rajasthan Royals (E) 12 3 9 0 6 -0.718
10 Chennai Super Kings (E) 12 3 9 0 6 -0.992

Gujarat Titans (16 points)

With eight wins from 11 games, the Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans need just a win shy of confirming their place in the last four stage. They still have three games left in the league stage.

Remaining Games: vs DC (May 18), vs LSG (May 22), vs CSK (May 25)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (16 points)

Just like Gujarat Titans, RCB are also just a win away from securing their spot in the last four stage. RCB also have three games left, including two at home, starting with a clash against KKR.

Remaining Games: vs KKR (May 17), vs SRH (May 23), vs LSG (May 27)

Punjab Kings (15 points)

Punjab Kings breathed a sigh of relief when it was announced their called-off game against Delhi Capitals will be replayed. With three games left, Punjab Kings could possibly reach 21 points, thus securing their first playoff spot over a decade.

Remaining Games: vs RR (May 18), vs DC (May 24), vs MI (May 26)

Mumbai Indians (14 points)

After losing a few matches initially, Mumbai Indians won six matches on the bounce to enter the top four. The Hardik Pandya-led side need to win their final two games to enter the playoffs without needing a help from others. In case, Mumbai Indians lose one, they will be locked at 16 points and would hope Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals falter.

Remaining Games: vs DC (May 21), vs PBKS (May 26)

Delhi Capitals (13 points)

Despite making a roaring start with five wins in their first six matches, Delhi Capitals lost the plot to find themselves out of the top four in the points table. With 13 points in the pocket and three games left to play, Delhi Capitals need to win all their remaining matches to ensure smooth entry into knockouts.

Remaining Games: vs GT (May 18), vs MI (May 21), vs PBKS (May 24)

Kolkata Knight Riders (11 points)

Things look dicey for defending champions KKR who have won five and lost six so far. Rain played spoilsport in one of their games. With two games left, KKR could go to 15 points even if they win their remaining games. KKR would also hope for other teams to falter in order to get a crack into the last four stage. For KKR to go through, Punjab Kings need to lose all their games.

Remaining Games: vs RCB (May 17), vs SRH (May 25)

Lucknow Super Giants (10 points)

With a new captain in Rishabh Pant, LSG need to win their remaining three games to get to a maximum of 16 points. Like KKR, LSG too need to look at other teams for a change of fortune. Even if LSG win their last three games, they would Mumbai Indian and Delhi Capital to not win more than one game.

Remaining Games: vs SRH (May 19), vs GT (May 22), vs RCB (May 27)
