Pollard aces IPL's 'El Clasico' to prove big-occasion credentials
The Peninsula
NEW DELHI - For someone keen to produce memorable knocks in big matches, Mumbai Indians player Kieron Pollard is particularly pleased with the one he conjured in Saturday's "El Clasico" victory against Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The clash between IPL's two most successful franchises who share eight titles between them resulted in a runfest as the sides amassed a combined score of 437 runs, including 30 sixes. Eight of those sixes flew from Pollard's bat as Mumbai's middle-order lynchpin smashed an unbeaten 87 off just 34 balls, his first fifty this season, to secure Mumbai's last ball victory by four wickets.
