Playing their last match at home against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) this IPL, the Mumbai Indians (MI) were desperate for a win to change their fortunes in this season. Captain Rohit Sharma was there till the end in a difficult chase, but they needed someone else to step up too. West Indian player Kieron Pollard, who has had his injury woes of late, turned out to be that saviour for MI with his belligerent 17-ball 51 not out. Kieron Pollard with his wife Jenna and children.

But what propelled Pollard to go ballistic against the KKR bowlers? Even by the admission of one of MI’s coaches Robin Singh, the team management did not expect Pollard to be back at the best of his fitness and game so soon. So what was it that helped Pollard go hammer and tongs? Was he a man-possessed? Or was it the magical stroke of luck? Well, the big man himself revealed the secret in a short video shared by MI’s official Twitter handle.

Watch the video here and figure out yourself how Pollard got back to the six-hitting ways.
