The dramatic incident unfolded in the blink of an eye in the 17th over of MI New York’s chase against the Texas Super Kings. Kieron Pollard faced a full-length ball on leg stump and tried to flick it behind square. Instead, the ball deflected off his pad and rolled towards mid-wicket.

The stumps were shattered, and the big man was caught miles short of his ground. Pollard walked back to the pavilion after playing a quickfire knock of 32 off 16 balls, which included 5 fours and 1 six, but it was that moment of brain fade that stole the spotlight.

Cricket is very funny: Nicholas Pooran on Kieron Pollard's brain fade moment
Reacting to Kieron Pollard's run-out against TSK, MI New York captain Nicholas Pooran said that “cricket is very funny, and it’s never over till the final ball is bowled.”
Chasing the target, MI New York didn’t have a great start, and then wickets were falling at regular intervals, but still they managed to get close to the target, thanks to Monank Patel’s 62 and Michael Bracewell’s 38, and had Pollard not had a brain fade moment, they would have easily won the game against TSK.
Pooran further said on the crushing defeat, “I was happy with 185; it was a good partnership between Conway and Savage. They got 10-15 runs too much, but still can’t complain with the bowling. It’s a small venue; it’s a game of cat and mouse. The power play is really crucial. I got out second ball after getting a reprieve; hopefully we can move forward.”
