Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder, Kieron Pollard is one of the cleanest strikers of the cricket ball for many years now but his struggles against spinners are well known. The West Indian batter during the game against Gujarat Titans (GT) was deceived by Rashid Khan as the spinner cleaned him up with an absolute beauty.

MI and GT locked horns with each other for the very first time in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). After losing the toss, MI skipper Rohit Sharma started well as he scored a quickfire 48 to give his team a powerful start in the powerplay. But after his dismissal, MI failed to capitalize on the start that he provided them. Suryakumar Yadav who has been the man in form for Mumbai was dismissed for 11 from 13 balls which were followed by Ishan Kishan’s (45 off 29) dismissal as MI was left reeling at 111/3.

Kieron Pollard who is one of the most dangerous batters in the middle-overs came out to bat after that and seemed absolutely clueless when Rashid Khan was bowling to him. The powerful West Indian was beaten on 4 consecutive deliveries of the 14th over by Rashid Khan after which he bamboozled Pollard and cleaned him up on the penultimate ball of the over giving him his second wicket.
