The ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 has been a thrilling spectacle of cricket, filled with exciting matches and impressive performances. One such standout moment came from Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) captain Kieron Pollard, who not only delivered a stellar bowling performance but also celebrated his success with a unique and eye-catching gesture.
Kiron Pollard’s 4-fer and El Dorado celebration
During TKR’s match against St Lucia Kings at Brian Lara Stadium, Pollard’s bowling prowess was on full display. He picked up four wickets in the final over of St Lucia’s innings, dismissing Faf du Plessis, David Weise, Roston Chase, and Sedrack Descarte. His impressive figures of 4/38 in his four overs showcased his skill and experience.
To celebrate his achievement, Pollard performed the “El Dorado” celebration, a gesture that has gained popularity in recent times. The celebration involves pointing a finger like a gun, a nod to the Turkish Olympian shooter Yusuf Dikec, who won a silver medal in the 2024 Paris Games with a similar gesture. Pollard’s El Dorado celebration added a touch of flair and excitement to the match, capturing the attention of fans and commentators alike.

Despite Pollard’s impressive bowling performance, TKR ultimately fell short in their chase against St Lucia Kings. The Kings had set a challenging target of 218 runs in their innings, thanks to Johnson Charles‘ explosive knock of 89 runs. TKR’s batting lineup struggled to keep pace, and they were eventually bowled out for 138 runs.
The defeat meant that TKR remained in fourth place in the CPL 2024 points table, while St Lucia Kings consolidated their position at the top. While Pollard’s El Dorado celebration may have been a highlight of the match, TKR will be disappointed with their overall performance and will be eager to bounce back in their upcoming games.
Pollard’s El Dorado celebration will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the memorable moments of CPL 2024. His impressive bowling performance, combined with his unique and eye-catching celebration, showcased his skill, charisma, and passion for the game. As the tournament continues, fans can expect more exciting moments and thrilling matches from Pollard and the other talented players participating in the CPL.
