Meanwhile, Pollard’s side got off to a dismal start in the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021 as they lost to Pune Devils by seven wickets in their opening game. Having won the toss, Deccan Gladiators were invited to bat first. The Pollard-led side managed to post 104/5 in their 20 overs with Azam Khan top-scoring for his side with a 13-ball 32. Pollard had an abysmal outing as he could only score two runs after playing out six balls.

The Gladiators will look to put this loss behind and make a comeback against Team Abu Dhabi who they will play against on Friday, January 29 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Notably, Pollard was among the many West Indies players who pulled out of the ongoing Bangladesh tour due to COVID-19 fears. The 33-year old instead decided to travel to the UAE for the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021.
