After years of representing the MI franchise in different T20 leagues such as the IPL, ILT20 and SA20, the West Indies superstar was roped in by Joburg Super Kings in the 2027 SA20 auction. The West Indian will don the yellow at #BetwaySA20 for R1.5 million.” Kieron Pollard is now a Super Kings member. The official SA20 handle posted: “What’s just happened!? Joburg Super Kings immediately bid on Kieron Pollard and the bid goes unopposed.
Pollard’s move to the Super Kings is a major talking point, SA20 League commissioner Graeme Smith acknowledged.
I think it’s something we can really use,” Morkel said. “I was really surprised to see him in the auction in the first place and, from the information we gathered, he was still very keen to play. It’s not that we asked him to come out of retirement. He’s really keen to play in the tournament, and what he brings to our team is leadership, a winning mentality, toughness on the field and West Indian flair.
