“The name of the game is pressure, in a final, so everyone takes that pressure. You want to win, you want to not make a mistake, but at the end of the day, you have to try and take it as a normal game. Just go out there and enjoy yourself, enjoy the atmosphere. Obviously, no crowds now in this final but enjoy the magnitude of it. It’s the IPL final. It’s the biggest thing after a World Cup final,” Pollard said in the clip.

“While our past against Delhi is evenly matched (15-12 overall) before coming into 2020, we’ve established a clear lead on the back of four successive wins over the Capitals including three out of three this season,” the team said.
Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene also talked about the process the team goes through ahead of such an important match and what he expects his boys to do. Calling it “just another game of cricket”, Jayawardene mentioned that the team is not emphasising on thinking hard to play differently. They will keep executing plans and strategies as the game proceeds.
Jasprit Bumrah’s performance was also lauded in the clip. “What Polly has done with bat in hand, Boom (Bumrah) has done with the ball in the two IPL finals that he has played and won for us,” the team said.
The video ended with the statement, “We can’t wait to script history once again. We believe that the flag of blue and gold will continue to fly higher.”
The stats may or may not intimidate the Delhi Capitals, as they too have some of the top players of the tournament like Shikhar Dhawan and Kagiso Rabada with them.
