5 Unexpected players who captained IPL teams
From the likes of David Miller and Murali Vijay to Shaun Pollock and Ricky Ponting, they all have shouldered the captain’s responsibility.
5. Kieron Pollard
The West Indies batting decimator has the capacity to turn the tide in the team’s favour with his extra-sized muscles. Known for his swashbuckling out of the park sixes, this lanky superstar plays with his intelligence and wits. Etching 2755 runs in just 148 matches are itself a proof what this stalwart is capable of.
After Rohit Sharma had to pull back for a match as he suffered from a muscle pull in IPL 2019, Kieron Pollard took over the responsibilities to prove his mettle against the mighty Kings XI Punjab. He signed off scoring 83 runs on board as he took the team across the victory mark single-handedly.
Not attributing him as the masterclass of the shortest format of the game would be an injustice to all the efforts he pours in off the field. Keeping an eye on this power-hitter is a must in this IPL as he is the entertainer in the true sense of the word.
