Mumbai: Mumbai Indians will be hoping that Kieron Pollard recovers in time from his finger injury and is available against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. "Obviously, Pollard is feeling better as he's practising today. It's not a fracture, that much I am sure. But I am not exactly sure what it (injury) is and I'm sure the call on him will be taken tomorrow," informed in-form batsman Dinesh Karthik.
Pollard sustained finger injury during the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad when his finger jammed into the ground. About the CSK match, Karthik said a clash between the two teams always brought out the best in terms of competition. "It's always a great battle. They are a team in form and are doing very well. They have won many (7) games in a row.
It's will be an interesting game and we are looking forward to it. It's always been close encounters with CSK, so I'm sure it will be a good game tomorrow." Asked which area caused some concern for Mumbai, wicketkeeper Karthik's answer was "Death bowling."
"Our death bowling can get better. That's an area we tend to leak a lot of runs. It's an area where we are really working on. We have always depended on (Lasith) Malinga. "It's important that people who bowl around him also bowl well so that it makes things easy for us. If we can start well with initial wickets and we can bat with intent throughout the 20 overs
