4. Kieron Pollard gets on Shane Watson's nerves

Pollard’s mockery annoyed Watson

The two all-rounders got involved in a heated argument during a match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals in 2013. Keiron Pollard was seen constantly mocking the Aussie when he was on strike, which left the latter furious.

Though Pollard sported a wide grin on his face, Watson seemed annoyed, which eventually led to him getting dismissed in the same over, caught by Pollard at mid-wicket. He also approached umpire Asad Rauf and complained about Pollard's behaviour, who in turn called on MI's skipper Rohit Sharma to calm his teammate down.

Rahul Dravid, the then captain of RR did not seem to take the issue lightly, and also went on to call it "an act of cowardice" by Pollard.
