The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most competitive T20 tournament in the world. Players from several nations participate in it and often are pitted against each other.

The IPL is a high-intensity tournament, and at times the tension boils over to the point where it becomes more than just friendly banter. Since there are players who play together around the year, and then play against each other in the IPL, altercations are bound to happen. Sometimes it leads to ugly fights as well.

Kieron Pollard hogs the limelight in the IPL, sometimes for not his batting as well. On this occasion, he was in the news for the spat he had with Rajasthan Royals‘ all-rounder Shane Watson. This incident dates back to MI’s maiden title-winning season, which is 2013.

When Shane Watson came in to bat, Pollard was constantly in the ears of the Aussie. While looked bemused with that, Pollard was seen laughing. The umpires had a chat with skipper Rohit Sharma and Pollard about it. And then Watson was caught laughing.

Later on, Watson got out to Pragyan Ojha, and it was none other than Kieron Pollard who took the catch.  This ensued wild celebrations from the West Indian. Watson hurled down plenty of expletives sitting in his dugout.
