Over the years, the West Indies superstars Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard have developed a close bond that extends both on and off the field. In the first season of the Major League Cricket (MLC), the two are now representing MI New York and Texas Super Kings (TSK), respectively.
Previously, during the Eliminator of the 2012 Indian Premier League (IPL), Bravo dismissed Pollard and staged the “aeroplane” celebration as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) eliminated the Mumbai Indians (MI). Pollard celebrated the same way as Bravo after MI New York’s victory over TSK in the MLC match. Notably, the defeat led to the team led by Faf du Plessis being eliminated from the competition.
The celebration video of Kieron Pollard was posted on Twitter by MI New York. While Dwayne Bravo welcomed it with a smile, the MI batter was observed having an ironic conversation. Then they hugged one other to show how much they respected one another. “These two & their banter Polly wins this round, DJ!” the franchise captioned the picture.
