In the T20 Blast being played in England, Kieron Pollard has been forced to return to the pavilion through the best fielding of a player.
Former West Indies captain Kieron Pollard has retired from international cricket, but he is playing franchise cricket. He is currently representing Surrey in England’s Vitality T20 Blast. Whichever team Pollard lives in, he becomes a cause of concern for the opposing team. He is known for his stormy batting. Surrey faced Hampshire on Sunday and in this match, Pollard was once again seen playing a good innings. He was in his colour, but then a brilliant catch ended his innings.
Hampshire batted first and scored 151 runs in 20 overs for the loss of seven wickets. Surrey got this easy score by losing six wickets in the first five balls.
Great catch by Weatherley
Pollard was batting well and was attacking the Hampshire bowlers fiercely. His wicket fell on the fourth ball of the 16th over of Surrey’s innings. The bowler was James Fuller. James hit the ball on the off-stump, which Pollard played towards deep square leg. There stood Weatherley. Seeing the ball, Weatherley ran to the right and jumped in the air and took a wonderful catch with one hand. Seeing this catch of Weatherley, everyone present on the field was surprised and Pollard had to return to the pavilion. Pollard scored 34 runs in this match. During his innings, Pollard faced 22 balls and hit two sixes in addition to three fours.
