Top 5 fights between cricketers in IPL history

#2 Kieron Pollard and Mitchel Starc, IPL 2014

An ugly altercation

The altercation

That Kieron Pollard has a genetic dislike towards the Australians was testified when an ugly altercation escalated to disastrous proportions between Mitchell Starc and the West Indian batsman.

It was the 17th over of the Mumbai Indians innings when Starc bowled a vicious bouncer that flew over the West Indian. The Aussie let out his tongue to mock Pollard to which the West Indian responded with a send-off.

The matter escalated in the very next ball when Starc continued with his delivery despite Pollard having swayed out of the way. A visibly infuriated Pollard ran towards Starc and threw his bat towards the bowler.

Eventually, Chris Gayle, his compatriot had to get involved to cool down a visibly snapped Pollard. Pollard romped towards the umpire about Starc's conduct that led to such antics.

The fallout

Under IPL's code of conduct, both players were charged guilty of committing a Level 2 Offence. Pollard was fined 75 percent of his match fee while Starc was made to forego 50 percent of his.
