Pollard reflected on the performance after the game
After the brilliant title win, Kieron Pollard took centre stage and talked about his sideโs performance throughout the competition. It is also worth noting that the star all-rounder won the Player of the Tournament award for his excellent performances.ย
โI think it’s a fantastic moment, not only for myself and my family, who have continued to urge me to play cricket, but for the entire TKR team. We changed leadership at the start of this tournament, and we have a new coach and a new captain. Being able to contribute to our winning cause, I think he couldn’t ask for anything better. Nicholas Pooran has been playing CPL for 13 years, and he’s getting his first CPL with us. Dwayne Bravo is getting his first championship as a head coach. The support of each and everybody was fantastic,โ Pollard said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
