The big man from Trinidad is one of the greatest fielders of the current generation and has the ability to take some inhumane catches and save a boundary literally from nowhere. His big reach enables him to cover large ground in less time and save some improbable boundaries. He has been a great outfielder for every team he played in his career so far.
Pollard took one of the finest catches in history in the 2014 IPL. With Kevon Cooper’s hit seemingly sailing over Polly, the huge Trinidadian leaped miraculously to pluck the ball out of thin air but as his body began to twist him around Pollard threw the ball over his shoulder before turning on his landing foot forcefully pushing himself back into play to take one of the most amazing and fantastic catches you would wish to see.

Apart from being a fantastic fielder, Pollard is a hard hitting lower middle order batsman who has played some tremendous innings for his country and franchise teams. The 29-year-old made his name for himself in the 2009 Champions League T20 when he led his side Trinidad and Tobago to a famous win against New South Wales Blues. He is a very intelligent medium pace bowler and provides an ideal balance to the side especially in T20s.

Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
