Overview
- Pollard scored an unbeaten 100 off 56 balls for MI New York on Sunday, taking his career T20 total to 14,582 runs and moving past Chris Gayle on the all-time list.
- Despite Pollard’s century, MI New York lost to Washington Freedom by 30 runs after Mitchell Owen hit 155 as Washington posted 245 for 5.
- Pollard has compiled his runs across franchise leagues and international appearances and is reported to have played 736 T20 matches, the only player cited as having exceeded 700 appearances.
- After the match Pollard acknowledged Gayle with the line “sorry Universe Boss” and framed the record as validation of a long franchise-focused career that often saw him finish innings from the middle or lower order.
- Coverage is consistent on the core milestone but notes small, single-source discrepancies in peripheral stats and warns that active batters close in the totals, such as Alex Hales and Jos Buttler, could contest the mark in coming months.
