Mumbai Indians stand-in-captain Kieron Pollard led from the front with a match-winning knock of 83 against Kings XI Punjab at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday. Pollard's 31-ball innings helped MI beat the Punjab outfit by three wickets and move into third position on the points table with eight points from six games.

Pollard, who promoted himself to No. 4 and came to the crease after Suryakumar Yadav's departure with the score reading 56-2 in the eighth over, revealed how he went about setting up the successful chase of 198. When asked if it was his best knock ever, the West Indian wasn't too sure. "You can say yes, you can say no. It's more important that we won the game. I stayed calm under pressure. I wanted to finish off the game. Keeping that calm head in the end was good. The guys rallied really well. That's why it's a team sport," said Pollard, who was dismissed off the second ball of the 19th over with four runs still needed to win, at the post-match press conference on Wednesday night.
