IPL 2020: Super-striker of the season - Kieron Pollard
In the finals match against Chennai, Mumbai's Kieron Pollard took strike near the tramline before nearly leaving the pitch, attracting the ire of the umpires. Mumbai's batsman Pollard, though, adamantly stood his ground in protest.
Bowling the final over of the first innings, Dwayne Bravo, finding Pollard shuffle repeatedly towards the off-stump from his one-leg guard, cleverly bowled fuller deliveries outside the 'tramline' (marked for wide balls) for three dot balls.
On all three occasions, straight umpire Nitin Menon didn't signal wide as expected by Pollard, the reason being the burly batsman's big trigger.
After the third dot delivery, Pollard's frustration was evident as he flipped his bat in the air even though he didn't utter a word.
Just as Bravo got into his stride to bowl the fourth delivery, Pollard, in a mock gesture, left the stumps open and kept walking towards the side of the crease.
He even got reprimanded by the on-field umpires.
