Kieron Pollard's magnificent attack on Rashid Khan during the match against Trent Rockets will be the tournament's highlight. In The Hundred Mens Competition 2024, he smashed back-to-back five sixes, surprising the bowler. Rashid is one of the best spinners in the world, and Pollard is an extremely dangerous batter. However, the Caribbean powerhouse treated Rashid like a schoolboy.
The Hundred's official social media page shared the video of the five sixes and fans went crazy over it. The video gained rapid attention as Pollard is a fan's favourite, and hitting consecutive sixes off Rashid's bowling was interesting for everyone to watch.
