Kieron Pollard lights up the CPL T20
Batting first, Trinbago Knight Riders were struggling against some disciplined bowling from Barbados Tridents. When Pollard entered the scene, the Knight Riders were struggling at a score of 87/3 in 13 overs and they had no momentum on their side. However, things changed quickly as Kieron Pollard alongside Darren Bravo counter-attacked. While both batsmen took the aggressive route, Pollard, in particular, was in a destructive mood. The Tridents’ skipper Jason Holder asked New Zealand spinner, Mitchell Santner, to bowl the 17th over of the TKR’s innings. The decision proved to be a wrong one as Bravo and Pollard scored 19 runs in the over.
On the last delivery of the over, Kieron Pollard also hit a majestic one-handed six over the long-off. Santner bowled a flighted delivery wide on the off-stump. Pollard reaches out for the widish delivery with a one-handed swipe and the power in his forearm is enough to go the distance right over the long-off.
One-handed maximum, just Kieron Pollard things!
