Sent into bat, Mumbai Indians scored 161 for four against Kolkata Knight Riders in their IPL match on Wednesday.

After an 83-run fourth-wicket stand between Suryakumar Yadav (52) and Tilak Varma (38 not out), Pollard (22 not out) smashed the world's premier fast bowler Pat Cummins for three sixes to end MI's innings on a high.

Yadav said, ''I think this is a good score on the board. The wicket is still sticky and I think our bowlers can exploit. We decided to go with the timeout after 13 overs, wanted to plan how we go about, and that's exactly what happened. I just wanted to spend some time in the middle, work the bowling around, play some 15-16 balls and then go after the bowling. 161 is a winning total, according to me. I didn't find any dew, it'll remain sticky and we're confident in defending it.''

Tilak cracked shots square of the wicket on either side while facing Varun, with Surya paddling one through fine leg.
