Never seen Pollard's innings? He plays ultra defensive in beginning and suddenly converts to a** kicker in late stages
EDIT: I don't think he would make any difference at top the order or opening spot. Like some says Dhoni should come at 4 but he avoid doing that and get some quick runs in last stages with some long hits. Pollard is best finisher and only one good finisher in MI squad this season. Well Ben Dunk is fine opener it seems. He was trying to hook the ball, clear the ball through in-circle fielders unlike Mussey who always threw the ball in fielders' hands.
