Centurion Pollard looking forward to IPL

Kieron Pollard has warmed up for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) with a match-winning century for Trinidad and Tobago in a three-day Caribbean first-class game against Jamaica and says he is now looking forward to the tournament.

Port of Spain: Kieron Pollard has warmed up for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) with a match-winning century for Trinidad and Tobago in a three-day Caribbean first-class game against Jamaica and says he is now looking forward to the tournament. This was only the Mumbai Indians all-rounder`s second match after being sidelined for six months by a knee injury. He scored 111 off 169 balls as Trinidad and Tobago won by 145 runs.
Mumbai Indians will enter the seventh edition of the cash-rich league as defending champions. Pollard`s last match before picking up the injury was the Champions League final in which he picked up three wickets to set up Mumbai Indians` second title win. One of the five players retained by the franchise ahead of the 2014 auction, Pollard said he was looking forward to the IPL.
"We`re the defending champions so the pressure is always there. You always want to win that tournament. For me, it`s to do whatever is required, it`s Twenty20 cricket, it`s not every day you`re going to come off so it`s what the team requires at that point in time and adjust their game to suit," Pollard said. "I`m three-dimensional in terms of batting, bowling and fielding so I just want to go out there and do my best," he added.
