West Indian all-rounder Kieron Pollard has a unique signature move that no other fielder in the world has been able to master and probably they never will.

Batsmen often hit perfectly fine shots that seem to be going over the boundary but then if it is Pollard's zone then he leaps up and plucks it out of thin air, one handed. The batsmen are often made to look foolish.

Pollard's 6 feet 4 inches frame and large hands make it possible for him to be successful at this, which is why no other fielder has been able to master it. The timing of the leap is also paramount and Pollard has turned it into an art form.

However, other than this particular facet of his fielding, he covers a lot of ground quickly with his massive strides even though he is not the fastest mover and sends in rocket throws from the deep with the minimum of fuss. He is a deceptively brilliant fielder and is, without a doubt, among the best fielders in the world at moment.
