Kieron Pollard’s top 3 ODI innings

In this article, we will discuss Kieron Pollard’s top 3 ODI innings. Kieron Pollard is one of the most dangerous batters in the world who can bowl pretty well. By scoring two half-centuries during the World Cup 2011 and then smashing a century-plus against India in a crunch later that year in Chennai, Pollard enhanced his record for his country. There were also several thrilling T20 finishes, such as a 38 off 15 balls that knocked Australia well out of the 2012 World T20 semi-final.

In June 2016, Pollard made his comeback to the world of international cricket, this time with a stronger defensive game and a fighting mentality. He turned a 21 for 4 score against South Africa into a match-winning 285 runs. The West Indies’ greatest partnership for the fifth wicket was the 156 runs he shared with Darren Bravo.

 Let’s discuss the top three ODI innings of Kieron Pollard:
