Captain Kieron Pollard of the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) gave an El Dorado celebration during the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 after four wickets haul on September 24 at Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad versus the St Lucia Kings.
In the last over of St Lucia's innings, Pollard claimed his fourth victim, which prompted the reply. In that encounter, the medium pacer got rid of Faf du Plessis, David Weise, Roston Chase, and Sedrack Descarte.
In his four overs, he recorded striking figures of 4 for 38. El Dorado, for those who are unaware, is a gunpoint gesture that has gained popularity again after Turkish Olympian shooting Yusuf Dikec won a silver medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The official Instagram account of CPL shared the following caption along with a video: "Pollard, the sharpshooter.”
