West Indies' legendary finisher Kieron Pollard showcased his extraordinary fielding skills, as he grabbed a stunning catch to dismiss Andre Russell in MI Emirates' latest ILT20 match against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. Russell, who opened his account with a six, couldn't add another run to his tally, with Pollard's magnificent grab sending him back to the dugout.
The incident occurred during the 19th over of ADKR's innings when Russell had just joined the middle to ensure a fitting finish for his side. However, MI's Alzarri Joseph had other ideas, as he got rid of the swashbuckling batter with his hard length bowling.
From over the wicket, Joseph bowled a short ball which Andre Russell tried to muscle over the long on fence. However, he was outfoxed by the bowler's extra pace, miscuing the shot in the air.
Although the ball was far away from him, Pollard exhibited commendable athleticism, taking a spectacular forward diving catch near the long on fence.
