In the ongoing match between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, MI batters gave their absolute best to score maximum runs in the first innings to give themselves a chance to qualify for the playoffs. 

Coming with an aggressive intent, every MI batter tried to slog from the first ball itself. Kieron Pollard came into bat at number four to up the run rate. In the 10th over, Pollard, new to the crease, missed a straight delivery off Sidharth Kaul and was given out. 

The West Indian all-rounder asked his partner, Suryakumar Yadav, regarding the decision and decided to review it. When the ultra edge showed no inside edge, Pollard was seen walking towards the dugout thinking the ball will crash onto the stumps. 

However, the ball tracking showed that the ball will miss the stumps by height. A surprised Pollard came back to crease as the decision got reversed.

Pollard couldn't do much despite being given a second chance and got out soon, scoring just 13. Mumbai ended up scoring 235/9 in the first innings - their highest IPL score.
