Watch: Pakistan Super League 2017: When Kieron Pollard took a one-handed blinder in the deep

His 'moment of brilliance' came when he ran 20 metres towards his right from deep long-on to the cow-corner and then outstretched his right hand to grab the ball.

There is something about the West Indian air and the cuisine there, the people from this part of the world are athletic, and naturally. Jamaica produces some of the best runners in the world, exemplifying the fact. The cricketers too are agile, they play several leagues and are ever-so fit. Dwayne bravo, Dwayne Smith, Andre Russell and of course our protagonist Kieron Pollard.

Kieron Pollard is a favoured name in these private leagues all across the world. He is fit and can contribute with the bat and the ball, which is why franchisees have him in their bucket list, more often than not. In the ongoing Pakistan Cricket League in Dubai, tall, beefy Pollard is representing the Karachi Kings, which is a star-studded outfit. The match was being played between Karachi Kings and Islamabad United. Both the teams were well balanced and it was a match of the equals.

His ‘moment of brilliance’ came when he ran 20 metres towards his right from deep long-on to the cow-corner and then outstretched his right hand to grab the ball. It was a catch taken on the run, that is what makes it even more brilliant. After taking the catch, just to make the moment special, he set of on a 200 metres spree.

When this incident took place, Islamabad United had their innings at 101 for four after 13-overs. It was also a 15-over match.
