Mumbai Indians’ batting coach, Kieron Pollard, caught the headlines during his side’s recent clash against Chennai Super Kings. The former West Indies all-rounder was seen having an argument with the match official after a DRS review did not go the way of the hosts. 

Aiming to chase down a target of 207 runs, Mumbai Indians felt hard done by a wide call; even taking a review for the same brought forth no result. The same saw Pollard having an animated discussion with the match official, the clip of which has been going viral all over social media. 

Furthermore, things went from bad to worse as skipper Hardik Pandya was dismissed on the very next ball of the over, putting a major dent in the side’s plan to chase down the mammoth target. 

Chennai Super Kings stay in playoff contention

Having played six games in the tournament so far, Chennai have managed to register four wins so far and have lost two games.
