In the Hundred 2024, Kieron Pollard Smashes Rashid Khan To The Stands
In The Hundred Men’s Competition 2024, the T20 great of the West Indies, Kieron Pollard, has smashed Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan for five consecutive sixes. Playing for Southern Brave, Pollard’s late onslaught ensured that his side got over the finish line, chasing a tricky target of 127 in 100 balls against Trent Rocket. Southern Brave were struggling at 78/6 after 76 balls before Pollard went berserk on one of the best spinners of this generation. Pollard becomes one of very few batsmen to hit five sixes in a row.
Watch it here.
Kieron Pollard was struggling on 6 of 14 balls but turned the tide completely in the space of five balls. The first one was hit over mid-wicket, the next two over long-off, the fourth again over mid-wicket, and finally the fifth again over long-off. In the space of five balls, Rashid Khan's economy was completely spoiled, as he ended up giving away 40 runs from his 20 balls.
