Pollard was picked by Mumbai in 2010 through a secret tiebreaker. Since then, Pollard has played in Rohit Sharma's team. Every season, Mumbai has retained Pollard before the auction. In the 2022 edition, he was kept by the most successful team of the IPL with about 8 lakh US dollars. But Pollard scored only 144 runs in 11 matches at an average of 14.40 and a strike rate of 107.46. This was Pollard's worst season in the IPL. His team's performance was also pathetic.

In a joint statement with Mumbai on Tuesday, Pollard said, "The decision was not easy for me as I want to play for a few more years. However, after discussions with Mumbai Indians, I have decided to say goodbye to the IPL. It's a great franchise. Those who have great achievements. I think they need to change now. Also, if I don't play for Mumbai Indians, I can't imagine myself against Mumbai. '
