At 38, the Trinbago Knight Riders powerhouse once again reminded fans why he is regarded as one of the most destructive T20 batters of all time. In the Caribbean Premier League clash against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, Pollard produced a jaw-dropping exhibition of power-hitting that left both fans and opposition bowlers stunned.Walking in with his team looking for momentum, Pollard initially took his time to settle. After 13 balls, he had managed just 12 runs \u2013 an uncharacteristic start for the big-hitting veteran. But what followed was absolute mayhem.Pollard suddenly switched gears, launching an astonishing assault on the bowlers. He smashed seven sixes in the space of eight deliveries, clearing the boundary with effortless ease. In his final 16 balls, he plundered 53 runs at a staggering strike rate of 331.25.His overall innings read 65 runs off just 29 balls, laced with eight sixes and two fours. The highlight of his knock came in the last eight balls he faced: 6, 6, 0, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 \u2014 pure carnage, as Pollard turned the match into a one-man spectacle.For the opposition, it was a nightmare. For the fans, it was vintage Pollard \u2013 reminding everyone of his golden years with the bat. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kieron Pollard continues to prove that age is just a number (Image credit: X) NEW DELHI: Kieron Pollard&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107685,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[42648,47710,1721,52306,101,42649,52307,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-107684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-caribbean-premier-league","tag-cpl","tag-cricket","tag-kieron-pollard","tag-sports","tag-st-kitts-and-nevis-patriots","tag-trinbago-knight-riders","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107684\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
