CPL 2019: Best XI of the tournament
The Tridents became champions for the second time while the Warriors slumped to their fifth defeat in the final out of seven seasons.
Kieron Pollard (Trinbago Knight Riders)
After being appointed as the TKR skipper in Bravo’s absence, Kieron Pollard showed his class, both in leadership and batting. Whenever he was there in the middle, there was a ray for TKR to get over the finishing line.
The 32-year-old batted in the middle order, yet featured amongst the top run-scorers of the event. He got a stunning 349 runs at an average of 58.16 and a strike-rate of 150.34. The veteran chipped in with his solitary half-century at the Providence Stadium that almost took down the Warriors at home.
Pollard doesn’t have a humongous knock to show for his efforts, but he was TKR’s stalwart in the middle without a shred of a doubt. In the Eliminator versus the Patriots, it was his unbeaten 26 off nine balls that took TKR past the finishing line with eight balls to spare.
