#3 Kieron Pollard throws his bat at Mitchell Starc

Things turned nasty in an encounter between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2014 when Kieron Pollard lost his temper and flung his bat at pacer, Mitchell Starc on the field.

Pollard, who was on strike, pulled away from facing the delivery owing to some distraction behind the bowler's arm. However, a fired-up Starc didn't break his run-up and followed through with his delivery, seemingly taking an aim at Pollard with the ball.

In response, the mighty Caribbean batsman hurled his bat towards the pacer in a grotesque confrontation. RCB skipper, Virat Kohli, along with the on-field umpires had to step in to diffuse the tension between the two.
