The West Indies legends Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo share a strong camaraderie both on and off the field over the years. The two are now playing for MI New York and Texas Super Kings (TSK), respectively, in the inaugural edition of the Major League Cricket (MLC).

Previously, during the 2012 Indian Premier League (IPL), Bravo dismissed Pollard during the Eliminator and staged the ‘aeroplane’ celebration as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ousted the Mumbai Indians (MI) from the competition. Now, MI New York defeated TSK in the MLC match, and Pollard performed the same celebration as Bravo. Notably, the defeat resulted in the elimination of the Faf du Plessis-led side from the tournament. 

MI New York took to Twitter to share the video of Kieron Pollard’s celebration. The MI batter was spotted having an ironic exchange while Dwayne Bravo was seen welcoming it with a smile. The pair then demonstrated their mutual respect, hugging each other. “These two & their banter  Polly wins this round, DJ!” the franchise captioned the post.

MI New York beat TSK by six wickets to reach MLC 2023 final

Nicholas Pooran-led MI New York overcame Texas Super Kings by six wickets in the Challenger at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas to book their spot in the final of the MLC 2023. MI will now face Seattle Orcas in the summit clash which will be contested at Dallas on July 31.

In terms of the game, Pooran won the toss and invited Faf du Plessis and Co. to bat first. Trent Boult was instrumental for MI, picking up four wickets and assisting his side in restricting their opponents by 158 runs. Opener Devon Conway and Milind Kumar ended up TSK’s top scorers, with 38 and 37 runs, respectively.

In reply, MI got off to the worst possible start, losing opener Slade van Staden for just six runs. Other batters, however, steadied the innings going as MI chased down the target in the penultimate over. MI relied heavily upon Dewald Brewis during the chase who scored an unbeaten 41 off 33 deliveries.
