Mumbai Indians (MI) explosive batsman Kieron Pollard took his side over the line once again as he scored 34-ball 87* runs in a 4-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday (May 1).
Pollard's knock was praised by the Pandya brothers after the match. Krunal and Hardik bowed down to Pollard and called him the 'GOAT' (Greatest Of All Time) in a video posted on IPLT20.com.
"Pollard is the G.O.A.T. Pandya brothers are mind-blown by the @KieronPollard55 show in Delhi.
"Do Not Miss: @hardikpandya7 & @krunalpandya24's interesting take on Big Polly's bowling cameo #VIVOIPL #MIvCSK @mipaltan," IPL's official Twitter account shared the video.
Krunal said there are only a few people who can pull off a chase as Pollard did against CSK. MI were chasing 219 in 20 overs and they were 3 down on 81 runs, but Pollard managed to bat throughout the run chase there on and finished it for his side.
"People don't talk about him that much but according to us he is G.O.A.T, one of the greatest of all time. If you see the chase which we did, there are only few people who have done it and if you Pollard has done a chase like this so many times," Krunal said.
"We have to tell one thing that Kieron Pollard hits sixes for breakfast but if he takes a wicket or he bowls well, for him you know when you give candy to a kid, he is like that," Krunal's younger brother Hardik added.
Apart from a blistering knock, Pollard also bagged two wickets in the match and gave away just 12 runs in 2 overs. His all-round performance has put them in a good position in the IPL 2021 with 4 wins in 7 matches.
