Mumbai Indians batting coach Kieron Pollard has been reprimanded by the BCCI after an “audible obscenity” during the IPL 2026 match against PBKS. The incident occurred in the 19th over of the second innings when Pollard directed abusive language at the fourth umpire. He was fined 15% of his applicable match fee and received one demerit point for breaching Level 1 of the IPL Code of Conduct for players and team officials. Pollard admitted the offence and accepted the sanction. Despite the controversy, Tilak Varma’s explosive batting helped MI secure a crucial win.
