The fiery Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder, Kieron Pollard has always been known for his big-hitting skills in world cricket. The burly West Indian has been an integral part of the Mumbai Indians’ franchise since he was bought in 2010. Since then, Pollard has continued to provide much-needed momentum to the batting unit while bailing his team out in crunch situations.
On Saturday, Pollard smashed a six that was so long that it left the MA Chidambaram Stadium during a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Pollard smashed the longest six of IPL 2021 against SRH. The distance of the six was 105 meters. Before Pollard, the longest six was hit by Glenn Maxwell (100m), who smashed it against Mumbai Indians.

Earlier, Mumbai Indians elected to bat first after winning the toss and they made one change in their squad by replacing paceman Adam Milne for Marco Jansen. On the other hand, SRH made as many as four changes to their line-up as they look for their first victory of IPL 2021. In their playing XI, Virat Singh, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Khaleel Ahmed, and Abhishek Sharma came in for Wriddhiman Saha, Jason Holder, T Natarajan, and Shahbaz Nadeem.

During the toss, Rohit had said, “We are gonna bat first. Very hard to predict, looks like a good track but we will only get to know as the game progresses. Looks a bit sluggish though. We have made one change. We understand the conditions and it’s very important to back your skills. The last game was good for us. Adam Milne comes in place of Jansen.”
