‘Last seen in Chahal's pocket’ – Dwayne Bravo shares ‘missing’ report of Kieron Pollard, West Indies skipper reacts

West Indies largely missed their regular skipper Kieron Pollard in the second ODI against India on Wednesday (February 9). The veteran all-rounder was ruled out of the encounter due to a niggle and Nicholas Pooran took over the captaincy duties. The Caribbean bowlers did well to restrict India for 237/9 in their allotted 50 overs. However, the batters couldn’t come to the party as the visitors suffered a 44-run defeat, losing the three-match series 2-0.

Many believe Pollard’s presence might have made a difference in the result of the game. His former teammate Dwayne Bravo also seems to be of the same opinion. The 38-year-old took to Instagram and shared a widely-circulated joke to troll Pollard over his absence. He shared a ‘missing’ poster featuring Pollard and gave his details as well.

Bravo even pulled Pollard’s leg for falling prey to leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for a golden duck in the opening ODI. “Age: 34, Height: 1.85m, Last Seen: In Chahal’s pocket, If Found Please Contact WEST INDIES,” read the details on the poster. Meanwhile, Bravo himself wrote: “This is really a Sad day @kieron.pollard55 my best friend is missing guys pls if u have any info pls inbox me or report to the police”.

Needless to mention, the comment section got flooded in no time as netizens were left in splits. Many members of the cricket fraternity including Dhawal Kulkarni, Fiedel Edwards, Daren Sammy also reacted to the post. Pollard himself shared the same meme and lauded Bravo’s antics on social media. “Never a dull moment on the socials..djbravo47 … ohh how I’m missed,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, the third and final ODI is set to take place on Friday (February 11) at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. It’s yet to be known whether Pollard is fit enough to return to West Indies’ playing XI. Notably, it will be a dead rubber as India have already sealed the series by winning the first two games. Also, the two sides are scheduled to lock horns in a three-match T20I series. Hence, Pollard might give the final game a miss as well.
