Kieron Pollard once again showcased why he is regarded as one of T20 cricket’s greatest entertainers, delivering a breathtaking knock for Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025. Playing against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, on September 1, the 38-year-old West Indies legend smashed a blistering 65 off just 29 balls, guiding his team to a thrilling 12-run victory and solidifying their position at the top of the points table.

Kieron Pollard’s six-hitting spree was nothing short of remarkable—he smashed three sixes off Navian Bidaisee in the 15th over before taking Waqar Salamkheil apart with four consecutive maximums in the 16th over. His eighth six, on the final ball of that over, also brought up a rapid 21-ball half-century, underlining his dominance.

 

 

This knock further cements Pollard’s legendary status in T20 cricket. Just two days earlier, on August 30, he became only the second player after Chris Gayle to surpass 14,000 runs in T20 cricket. With 950 sixes in the format, Pollard sits second on the all-time six-hitting charts behind Gayle, who struck 1,056 sixes in a decorated career spanning over 460 matches.
