Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard is a colossally powerful, legendary right-handed batter and street-smart right-arm medium bowler who stands as one of the most decorated, globally revered icons in the history of T20 cricket. Born on May 12, 1987, in Tacarigua, Trinidad and Tobago, the physically imposing powerhouse revolutionized the modern short-format blueprint, becoming the first cricketer in history to cross the monumental milestone of 600 T20 appearances. A proven champion with an unshakeable big-match temperament, Pollard’s legacy is forever intertwined with the Mumbai Indians ecosystem, where he spearheaded five historic IPL title campaigns before transitioning into an invaluable leadership and mentoring role across the global MI network.

On the American franchise circuit, Pollard commands ultimate structural reverence as the veteran spiritual anchor and premier lower-middle order enforcer for MI New York in Major League Cricket (MLC). Weaponizing a brutal, unmatched boundary-clearing arc and a masterclass tactical awareness, his ability to single-handedly hijack a match from seemingly impossible situations remains entirely intact. Entering the high-octane MLC 2026 campaign alongside long-time West Indian compatriot Nicholas Pooran and South African maestro Quinton de Kock, Pollard serves as the ultimate finisher. Tasked with dismantling world-class death-bowling units, drying up runs with his deceptive, slower-ball bowling variations, and providing invaluable tactical counsel on the field, his champion pedigree makes him a central force driving New York's fierce quest for back-to-back league glory.
