IPL 2024: Tried To Use Advantage Of New Ball Swinging Along, Says Pollard On Using Hardik As New-ball Bowler
Indian Premier League: After a six-run defeat to Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2024 opening game, batting coach Kieron Pollard insisted that skipper Hardik Pandya’s ability to swing the ball was a major reason behind him being a new-ball bowler in Sunday’s clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Playing at the venue for the first time since moving to Mumbai from Gujarat, Hardik opened the bowling against his former side, but gave away 20 runs in his first two overs, despite having someone like Jasprit Bumrah in their ranks.
“You have to plan and decide what you want to do as a team. Hardik (Pandya) has also bowled with the new ball for Gujarat over the last couple of years. He swung the new ball and bowled it well, which was nothing new to us. We tried to use the advantage of the new ball swinging along. When I look at the decision made, there is nothing wrong with it, and we move on,” he said in the post-match press conference.
