'Kieron Pollard's bat is not striking at all. It seems Jaydev Unadkat is hitting more than him': Ex-KKR opener

Hindustan Times  

With eight straight defeats, Mumbai Indians face an uphill task to get their first two points of the ongoing IPL edition. The team lost Ishan Kishan and Dewald Brevis early, and skipper Rohit Sharma also perished on 39 after getting off to a decent start. Former India opener Aakash Chopra was also critical of Mumbai's batting, Pollard in particular, which handed them a dubious record of eight consecutive defeats. Mumbai are winless from their first eight games, the longest losing streak to start an IPL edition, and the season looks all but over for Rohit's men.
