In a chat with Gaurav Kapur on Breakfast with Champions, Hardik Pandya revealed how Kieron Pollard got him ‘arrested’ during his trip to the West Indies as part of India’s limited-overs squad.

Hardik, who calls Pollard ‘brother from another mother’, said that the West Indies all-rounder played a prank on him as he was walking freely in his country. 

“When we went to West Indies, I was with him the whole time. I was roaming about as if I was in India because I knew that he won’t let anything happen to me,” said Pandya.

“Pollard asked me why I was calm. I said ‘See Polly, nothing will happen to me if you are around. I am in your city. However, he decided to pull my leg. He called a police officer, who was actually his friend, who tried to arrest me. I knew it was a prank but at one point, things got a little serious. I stayed calm and I thought I would call the Indian team and sort it all out because I haven’t done anything wrong.”

However, Pandya soon figured out it was a prank. “I figured out it was a prank when I saw the police officer try to call someone while holding the phone upside down with the speaker at the other end.”
