Kieron Pollard has faced the heat in IPL 2022 for Mumbai Indians throughout the season. Pollard was in news on Monday against Kolkata Knight Rider after he accidentally hit the umpire with the ball. The ball slipped out of his hands and hit umpire Chris Gaffaney. Luckily, no injury happened as the bowler apologized to the umpire.
Pollard conceded 26 runs in two overs and he did not pick up a wicket. With the bat as well he failed to impress. He scored 15 off 16 balls.

If it was a soccer game #Pollard would be back in the dressing room as a RED CARD would have been served for hitting the refree 😂 #KKRvsMI
