The all-time IPL all-rounders XI

2. Kieron Pollard

Bowlers in the IPL don't exactly fancy running into this 6 feet 7 giant whose big, feisty blows, that mostly translate into sixes can stir up the opposition dazed and confused. When he's on the field, you could be sure that most of your 2s could improbably become singles and many a possible boundary could be stopped, becoming nothing but just an admirable stroke that fetched you zilch.

Keiron Pollard is a tall, imposing all round cricketer. His able services have helped his Mumbai Indians to claim the IPL not once but twice. What's more: an artful sledger, he manages to get rather undesirably on to the batsman's nerves.

From 92 innings, he's collected 1875 runs, with 9 fifties at an average of 29 and a highest score of 78. With the ball, Pollard has scalped 56 wickets with best bowling figures of 4/44.
