5 memorable moments from the MI-KXIP match that don't fade away

#5 Kieron Pollard’s Bane-esque innings

Pollard began in style but finished with a whimper

In Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, the masterplan of super-villain, Bane, was to destroy Gotham after giving its people hope. And it would have worked had it not been for Batman’s timely intrusion.

Similarly, Kieron Pollard decided to don the role of Bane tonight. The West Indian batsman started his innings with vehemence, hitting the Punjab bowlers out of the park. His insane wrath gave the Mumbai fans hope…only for him to shatter those hopes later on.

In the final two overs, ‘Polly’ failed to connect with the ball as Mumbai Indians fell short by 7 runs. He ended the game with 50 runs from 24 balls to his name – a good innings, but not a match-winning one.
