Star Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal’s maiden century (124) went in vain as Tim David struck three successive sixes in the final over to Jason Holder to help MI register a thrillling six-wicket win over RR on Sunday. A similar role for MI was played by T20 great Kieron Pollard in the IPL previously.
Rohit said after the match –
“Very pleasing to see how we chased this. Last game here also we came close to a similar target. We have the ability but need to back ourselves.” As many experts feel that David is the next Pollard for MI, Rohit feels that the Singapore-born Australian cricketer has a big void to fill.
Rohit added – “(On David being next Pollard) Big shoes to fill, Polly for so many years won us so many championships. But Tim has so much ability and power. In the back end, having that power keeps the bowler thinking.”
