Krunal Pandya was in a joyous mood after dismissing Kieron Pollard in the match between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Pandya dismissed Pollard and tried to shake hands with the West Indies all-rounder afterwards.
However, with Mumbai staring down at an eighth consecutive loss of the season, Pollard wasn’t too happy about his dismissal.
The Caribbean cricketer didn’t respond to Pandya’s gesture, but the Indian all-rounder then responded by landing a kiss on Pollard’s head, who kept walking without reacting to any of it.

With Pollard’s dismissal, Mumbai’s fate was all but sealed. Whatever little hopes they had of qualifying for the playoffs vanished with Pollard’s wicket. Chasing a target of 169 runs, MI were down to 131/6, and from then on, there was no way back for them in the contest.
