When West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard stays on the field, there's always action, and on Monday, August 5, when his side, the Southern Brave, took on the Welsh Fire in Cardiff during the Men's Hundred Tournament 2024, it was no exception at all. In what ended up being the last over of the game, Pollard had some fun with the home crowd, aware that the match was all but decided. 

Star batter David Willey skied a full ball from left-arm pacer Tymal Mills, resulting in a long-on with the Welsh Fire eight down that required an unthinkable 47 off ten deliveries. Positioned there, Pollard took a comfortable catch, rushing in, and turned to fire a mocking stare at the fans, perhaps desiring a close finish, especially the part that appeared to be wanting him to drop the catch. The video of his act has gone viral, and the fans have loved his style.
