The Caribbean cricketer Kieron Pollard is a well-known name in World cricket. The mercurial cricketer is known for his big-hitting and sometimes as a person who gets really carried away on the field. The fans have witnessed few instances of Pollard’s explicit emotions in the Indian Premier League. His display of emotions was once again evident in the ongoing Trinidad T10 Blast where he threw the ball at Nicholas Pooran, albeit hilariously.
Kieron Pollard Nicholas Pooran face-off
In the Trinidad T10 Blast, the fans are witnessing a new avatar of Kieron Pollard as the all-rounder is bowling off spin despite being known for his medium pace. The national side’s Captain & Vice Captain faced off in the Scarlet Ibis Scorchers Vs Leatherback Giants clash. The century by Nicholas Pooran was the highlight of the match, however, the individual face-off between Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard gained even more attention.
The Giants batsman Pooran was facing Pollard and tried to play a switch-hit. Being a cunning player, Pollard stopped midway as Pooran switched sides and pretended to throw the ball at the batsman, which he eventually did hilariously. The all-rounder then attempted a mankad when Pooran was on the non-striker’s end, however Pooran was well inside the crease. The show-off between the two West Indian players was hilarious to say the least.
