The ugly seen broke out in the last ball of the 14th over after Bravo dismissed Jos Buttler (33) to break the 75-run stand between him and Nitish Rana.
Facing his first ball, Pollard stepped down the track to block Bravo's delivery. However, Bravo kept running in his follow-through and charged straight to his countryman.

This is not the first time Bravo has tried to intimidate the opposition. The all-rounder also tried to repeat the same incident with Rising Pune Supergiants skipper MS Dhoni.
