"Should've Will Smithed Him": Krunal Pandya's 'Kiss' Send-Off To Kieron Pollard During IPL 2022 Clash Irks Twitter

Mumbai Indians' nightmare in IPL 2022 continued as they suffered their eight straight loss to remain without a win this season. On Sunday, Mumbai were comprehensively beaten by 36 runs by Lucknow Super Giants, who courtesy the win climbed to the fourth spot in the IPL points table. For Mumbai it was another poor outing with the likes of Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard continuing to struggle with the bat. Pollard took two wickets with the ball but was dismissed by former MI teammate Krunal Pandya for 19. Krunal's send-off after he dismissed Pollard, however, hasn't gone down too well with fans on Twitter.

After taking the wicket of Pollard, Pandya ran to him and planted a kiss on his head. And though, both cricketers might be good friends off the field, Twitter was not impressed at all.

Krunal Pandya's jumping on Kieron Pollard after getting him out, may have been in jest, but is just not done in any competitive game! Could well be construed as aggressive by administrators who go by the book! #MIvsLSG pic.twitter.com/RaGE4rS2iB
