Top 5 Moments from Kieron Pollard’s Six-Hitting Masterclass

1. Arrival at the Crease – Game-Changer Enters

When Trinbago Knight Riders lost Darren Bravo for 21 in the 11th over, the score was 78/3 and the innings was at a crossroads. Enter Kieron Pollard, a man built for rescuing sticky situations. From his first few strokes, there was intent, and the tempo of the innings shifted immediately. The Patriots’ bowlers sensed the storm brewing.

2. The Record-Breaking Acceleration

Pollard’s fifty came off just 21 balls, highlighted by a flurry of towering sixes that had the Brian Lara Cricket Academy crowd roaring. He peppered the midwicket and long-on boundaries with disdain, bringing up his landmark with his eighth maximum — the joint-fastest in CPL 2025. The 4th wicket stand with Pooran yielded 50 runs in only 31 balls, completely changing the complexion of the innings.

3. Four Sixes in Four Balls – Salamkheil’s Nightmare

The most memorable passage came in the 18th over. Left-arm spinner Waqar Salamkheil tossed it up, only to see Pollard dismantle him with four consecutive sixes. Each hit was cleaner than the last — a flat bullet over long-on, a soaring strike down the ground, a whip into the stands at midwicket, and a brutal pull over deep square. It was classic Pollard: brute strength mixed with precision.

4. Partnership Power with Pooran

While Pollard cleared the ropes, Nicholas Pooran’s 52 off 38 provided the perfect foil. Their partnership of 90 runs set Trinbago up for a commanding finish. Pooran’s ability to rotate strike allowed Pollard to face the majority of deliveries, and the skipper obliged by turning almost every ball into a boundary threat. The combination of composure and carnage was match-defining.

5. The Dismissal – Spectacular Cameo Ends

With the crowd baying for more, Pollard attempted to extend his spree in the 19th over but mistimed a full ball wide outside off. His attempt to clear long-off only found Jason Holder’s safe hands near the ropes, ending an innings of 65 off 29 balls, 2 fours, and 8 sixes. Even in dismissal, the applause was deafening — a fitting send-off for an unforgettable knock.
