While chasing a daunting target of 202 runs against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 10th match of the Premier League (IPL) 2020,  Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder, Kieron Pollard gave the testimony why he is one of the hardest hitters of the cricket ball. He fired when his team needed him the most as Pollard smashed 60* off 24 balls.

Earlier, MI skipper, Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first and RCB had amassed as many as 201 runs for the loss for just three wickets in their quota of 20 overs owing to brilliant fifties from Aaron Finch Devdutt Padikkal, and AB de Villiers.

ABD played really well as after hitting Krunal Pandya for boundaries in his first few balls, he decided to target Jasprit Bumrah in the 17th over, where AB de Villiers smashed 17 runs. For MI, Trent Boult was the wrecker-in-chief as he got a couple of wickets involving Padikkal and Finch. 

During the chase, MI never got the momentum they required as they had lost Rohit Sharma and Suryakuamr Yadav in the powerplay itself. However, Ishant Kishan along with Quinton de Kock tried to make a partnership but the latter was also dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal in the 7th over followed by a dismissal of Hardik Pandya in the 12th over.
