Watch: Bravo, Pollard almost come close to punching each other
Kanpur: The Caribbean boys, the likes of Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard are known for their on-field antics, pitting them to be some of the most liked players in the sport.
The West Indies players love cricket and can do anything for their team on the field. That's exactly what happened when Dwayne Bravo was bowling to Kieron Pollard during Gujarat Lions’ must win encounter against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday.

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.

The trio was part of the World T20 winning team and the exclusion from the ODI squad did not go down well with them. The players who returned to side are Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine.
