CPL 2021: Team-wise one player to watch out for in the tournament
All the six participating teams have talented players in their arsenal, and will surely be looking to grab the CPL trophy this year.
Trinbago Knight Riders – Kieron Pollard
Kieron Pollard showcased his prowess with the bat in hand in the encounter against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) side in the 2021 edition of the IPL. On 1st May 2021, the big right-hander rendered the MS Dhoni-led CSK side clueless, smashed a sensational 87* off 34 deliveries, and helped the Rohit Sharma-led outfit chase down a target of 219 set by the ‘Men in Yellow’.
Pollard is a cricketer who is useful in every department of the game. He can hammer bowling attacks with the willow, he can stem the flow of runs and scalp crucial wickets with the ball, and there is arguably no one in modern-day cricket who can beat Pollard’s prowess on the field.
Pollard scored 207 runs in 7 innings in CPL 2020 and scored his runs at an excellent average of 51.75, and a staggering strike rate of 204.95. Pollard is vastly experienced and has been a part of the CPL since its inception.
He has played 81 matches and has scored close to 2000 runs at an average of 37.09. He has also scalped 55 wickets with the ball in hand as well. Needless to say, if Pollard fires, then the other teams will have a lot of worries to deal with.
