Kieron Pollard went on to say that Sanjay Manjrekar suffers from a case of 'verbal diarrhoea.' Pollard who scored 17 in 17 balls was dismissed at 119/5.
Sanjay Manjrekar then went on to criticise the Mumbai Indians player saying he could only play in the last six overs of an innings. An angry Kieron Pollard then hit back at Sanjay Manjrekar with tweets of his own after the game.
'@sanjaymanjrekar u feel any positive can come out of your mouth bcuz u get pay to talk u can continue with your verbal diarrhea (diarrhoea)..," Pollard said in his first tweet.

Mumbai Indians went on to defeat Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 wickets in the IPL 2017 match.
Commentating on Pollard's dismissal, Manjerakar had said, "When I look at Pollard, I look at him as more a six-seven-overs-left-in-the-innings batsman. Whether he will be able to bat at No 3 and whether he has the versatility to pick up the singles if the boundaries are not coming, does he have the range as a batsman? I don't think so. My view is, maybe six or seven overs left in the innings is the perfect time for Pollard to come in."

In 2015, Pollard had got in trouble after being warned by one of the on-field umpires to stay away from any banter after he was seen trying to unsettle RCB opener Chris Gayle's rhythm by hurling a few words at him.
However, the tall West Indian responded hilariously by plastering his mouth with a tape which amused the spectators, Gayle and Mumbai Indians players including Ricky Ponting and Anil Kumble sitting in the dugout.
