"Ye Hoti Hai Fielding": Pakistan Fans React As Kieron Pollard Pulls Off Stunner In PSL. Watch
West Indies great Kieron Pollard rolled back the years with a match-winning fifty for Karachi Kings in their Pakistan Super League (PSL) clash against Lahore Qalandars on Saturday. Pollard slammed 58 off just 33 balls to guide Karchi Kings to a crucial win at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The former West Indies captain came out to bat with his team reeling at 44/4, while chasing 176. His knock saw Karachi Kings achieve the total on the final ball of the match.
Apart from his exploits with the bat, Pollard also had a busy day in the outfield, taking two brilliant catches to help his side restrict the hosts to 175/6.
He pulled off a stunning juggling catch to dismiss in-form batter Jahandad Khan. The incident happened in the 13th over of Lahore Qalandars' innings when Jahandad tried to pull Mir Hamza for a six over long-off.
While Jahandad did manage to time his shot, Pollard used his height and athleticism to pull the ball back with one hand, before juggling the ball to complete the catch.
