IPL: Top 6 batsmen with most fifties in less than 25 balls

2. Kieron Pollard – 7

Kieron Pollard has, without an iota of doubt, been one of the biggest players of the IPL.  A young explosive Trinidadian who came into the IPL in 2010 with a lot of hype behind him has lived up to it and has been an absolute legend for the Mumbai Indians. He has 2846 runs in 151 games with 15 half centuries out of which phenomenally 7 have come under 25 balls implicating the kind of impact Pollard has had over the years.

He transformed from a basher in 2010 to player who could come in any situation and win the game for Mumbai Indians. He has played several memorable IPL knocks over the years. His fastest 50 came in just 17 balls against KKR in 2016. He had come in with 69 needed off 42 balls and ended the game with 2 overs to spare, scoring 51 of 17 balls himself.

Despite having had several ups and downs over the years, Pollard continues to be an absolute force with the bat and has seemed to have rediscovered his mojo in the last couple of years. He showcased once again in the recent game against RCB what he is capable of as he raced to a 20-ball fifty and almost won Mumbai the game from a hopeless situation, like he has several times over the years.
