Pollard is an important part of Mumbai Indians. Often, if Rohit Sharma is absent for the match, Pollard also appears to lead the Mumbai team. However, due to a tragic incident in his personal life, it is doubtful when he will come to India for the IPL. This is because foreign players as well as Indian players will have to be separated for IPL before entering Biobubble. So if Pollard gets a little late, he might miss some of the early matches.
