He reckoned that the swashbuckling batter will get better as he plays more matches.

Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Tom Moody explained”Kieron Pollard was one of the game’s greats and one of the great finishers.

Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody believes Tim David can excel in the role of a finisher for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023).

Moody feels David has the ability to fill Kieron Pollard’s shoes down the line for the Mumbaibased side.

He will only get that with playing opportunities.”

Notably, Tim David has amassed 113 runs from seven games in IPL 2023 at a strike rate of 143.04.

He was dismissed for a twoball duck during Mumbai’s clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, April 25.
