Kieron Pollard etched his name in the history books and became the second player after Chris Gayle to achieve a huge feat during an International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 match between MI Emirates and Desert Vipers on Thursday (January 16) at the Dubai International Stadium.

After the Vipers won the toss and chose to bowl first, Pollard helped the defending champions put up a respectable score of 159 on the board. After walking out to bat after the loss of skipper Nicholas Pooran in the 13th over, Pollard played a knock of 36 in 23 balls in a knock that included two boundaries and three sixes.

Pollard's second six of the day on Lockie Ferguson's bowling on the first ball of the 19th over of the innings saw him complete 900 sixes in T20 cricket. The T20 cricket legend has become the only second player in history to complete the milestone after Chris Gayle. The top four players in the list with the most sixes in the shortest format of the game are from the West Indies.
