Kieron Pollard dead? THIS is the truth

West Indies cricketer and limited overs captain Kieron Pollard is alive and playing in the Abu Dhabi T10 League. A fake news of the cricketer's death was doing rounds on social media and spread in quick time before the users were quick to point out the hoax.

A few video on YouTube claimed that Pollard met with a car accident and was no more. As soon as the video was uploaded on YouTube, the video and the news was shared on various social media platforms and many people felt that the 33-year old Trinidadian had indeed died.

However, the users were quick to point out that the video was fake as Pollard was captaining the Deccan Gladaiators side in the T10 League, which started on Thursday. Some of the users on Twitter posted saying that the news didn't have any substance and was completely basless.

Pollard's side didn't get off to a great start as they lost to the Pune Devils in the first game. Gladiators will look to bounce back against the Abu Dhabi team on the second day of the tournament.
