MI New York captain Kieron Pollard met the fan outside the ground after his six hurt her on the forearm following the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2024 match in Dallas. Pollard met her following the fixture, gifting her a signed cap and clicking a selfie with her as a video of the same emerged on social media.
The incident occurred in the 15th over of the innings as Spencer Johnson fired in a full delivery, targetting his pads. However, it played into the Trinidadian's hands as he whipped one over cow corner, with the six hitting the woman in the stands.
Later, Pollard met her and 'humbly apologised' to the woman and asked her partner to take good care of her.
