DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA (GaeaTimes.com)- The highly anticipated and crucial match between Guyana and Mumbai Indians turned out to be the perfect hunting ground for the Mumbai Indians pinch(six) hitter, Kieron Pollard. With huge expectations on the batsman and the great hype following the IPL performance, it was high time that Kieron Pollard made his presence felt in the star studded side. With the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan and Dwayne Bravo in the same side, the talented youngster had a lot to prove to his critics who started to question the worth of the huge signing amounts of the IPL players.

The Mumbai Indians chose to bat first and got off to a good start. Kieron Pollard was sent first down after the Mumbai Indians were at a comfortable stage at the end of the 13th over. Some quick wickets led to the scoring rate starting to decline and then the power hitter took over the game. Hitting 9 sixes in his 72 off 30 balls, Kieron Pollard smashed around the Guyana bowlers like school kids and Mumbai Indians scored 85 off the last 5 overs.

Kieron Pollard cleared the boundary quite comfortably in all the cases, but one particular six that made the news, was the one off the final delivery of the innings that cleared the mid-wicket boundary and left the park. His sixes have become a rage on the web ever since the game got over in Durban. Mumbai Indians won the match comfortably in the end and gave themselves some chance of making it to the next round of the Champions League T20 tournament.
