That's Pollard: Hits Five Consecutive Maximums!

The emergence of the T20 format is a game-changer for Cricket for sure. With new rules and approach the format has changed the way we look at the game. The traditional game was transformed with power hitters taking centre stage. T20 is the batters' game as they can take the game away.

IPL took the game further. IPL encouraged other countries too to start their leagues. The Hundred is one such league and both teams play 100 balls each to decide the winner.

Kieron Pollard who is known for his hard hitting became the talk of the town with his sixes. He sent five consecutive balls for the maximums. Rashid Khan who is one of the tough spinners to face conceded 30 runs with Pollard’s hitting.

Southern Brave and Trent Rockets locked horns with each other in the 2024 edition of The Hundred. Seeing his team in the middle of trouble Kieron Pollard gave his best and recorded five consecutive sixes. With this, he joined the elite list of layers to hit consecutive maximums.

Kieron Pollard is a clutch player who can come in handy with the ball and bat in crucial matches. We have seen this in the IPL many times. When the Mumbai Indians team finds itself in trouble Pollard becomes the rescuer and helps the team.

He retired from international cricket and he is serving as the coach of Mumbai Indians. However, he is playing only a few leagues as a player and The Hundred is among them. He proved that he cannot be written off as a player with his pinch-hitting.
