A funny incident took place during the IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals on April 29. The incident happened in the 18th over Mumbai Indians' innings, when a lethal smacker delivery from Rajasthan's star all-rounder hit Kieron Pollard on his helmet.
Fortunately, the blow on Pollard's helmet did not harm him but eventually benefited him as it went down all the way for a four and even fielder Sanju Samson failed to stop it. Everyone was left in splits after seeing Pollard cheering for the ball to go to the boundary ropes.
