IPL 2019: Kieron Pollard Loses Cool in Final Over of Dwayne Bravo During Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings, Fans Blast Poor Umpiring | WATCH VIDEO & SEE POSTS
IPL 2019: Windies cricketer Kieron Pollard got into an altercation during the final over of the finals. Pollard was having some amusement in the middle. The umpires were not amused though and immediately have a word with him. The previous ball was a very big wide but umpire Umpire Menon did not feel that it was wide. Pollard frustratingly threw his bat in the air and for this ball, he was standing well outside the pitch, went even wider and when Bravo was about to deliver, just pulled out, walking in front of the sticks!
Here is the video of the episode.

@BCCI @ICC @IPL
What is the price paid by @ChennaiIPL to umpire Nitin Menon for not giving wides in last over? Such a shame for 3 time title winner yellow army. @mipaltan Keep calm. You guys can win despite all these cheatings. #IPL2019Final #MIvCSK— Prashanth Shyamprasad (@prashanth132) May 12, 2019

If Dhoni stops the match because of a no ball…. wow Dhoni is a champ fought bravely with umpires.
If Pollard does so….. You should respect umpires decision poor sportmanship boo.
Why are Dhoni fans so double standard. True Bhakts they are #MIvCSK— Anuvrat Jhamad (@Anuvrataj) May 12, 2019

Meanwhile, CSK has restricted Mumbai to 149/8. Pollard top-scored with 41*. Chahar with three for 26 was the best CSK bowler. Chennai Super Kings need 150 to lift their fourth IPL title.
