Shaun Pollock may have taken the role of mentor-cum-bowling coach with the Mumbai Indians, but the urge to bowl is still quite evident in the former South African legendary pacer.
The former Proteas captain was seen bowling for nearly 25 minutes in the nets to Mumbai Indians batters before the start of their Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium yesterday. Pollock, who was known for his immaculate accuracy, maintained his line and length even now.u00a0It must have given some very valuable practice to the MI batsmen.
