Former West Indies and Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Kieron Pollard recently opened their hot exchange with Virat Kohli and Mitchell Starc during IPL 2014. Pollard also said that the incident was a moment on the ground and did not affect his professional relations with Kohli and Stark.
Kohli has not shown any competitive matches since the IPL 2025 finals for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The batsman ended as RCB’s top scorer and helped the team secure their first IPL Trophy. He scored 657 runs in 15 innings on an average of 54.75 and a strike rate of 144.71 including the eight fifty.

Pollard reacted by throwing his bat under Stark’s direction. It slipped from her hands and landed harmlessly towards the leg without contact. Stark later rejected Pollard and taunted him. Virat Kohli intervened to reduce the situation, but Pollard was visually disturbed.
