Kieron Pollard outsmarts on-field umpire

West Indies all-rounder and skipper Kieron Pollard successfully deceived on-field umpire Ahmed Shah Durrani and managed to convert a no-ball into a dead ball in the third ODI against Afghanistan on Monday. Afghanistan were at 97-4 on the 24th over when Kieron Pollard was going to bowl his first over of the game. As Pollard took off from his run-up and neared the popping crease, the umpire called a no-ball. Interestingly, Pollard did not let go of the ball and eventually, the on-field umpire, who had earlier called for a no-ball, was forced to convert his decision to a dead ball. Different camera angles and close-ups of Pollards front foot indicated that he had clearly overstepped the line but had smartly managed to clutch the ball to his hands, thereby making it a dead ball.

Hardik Pandya post World Cup 2019

Hardik Pandya got a much-deserved break after ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 where India had finished as the semi-finalists. He did not take part in India's successful Caribbean tour that had succeeded in the quadrennial event. Pandya made his comeback in the three-match T20I series against South Africa last month. Nonetheless, he could not make much of an impact as he could only manage two wickets and 14 runs in the two matches that he had played as the series was tied at 1-1 with one match being washed out. The Baroda all-rounder is expected to stay out of cricketing action for a minimum of 12-16 weeks. He is likely to be declared match-fit before the thirteenth edition of IPL next year.
