"The umpire told him to stay quiet, so he wanted to make sure to put the tape on his mouth and be quiet, but he is a bit of character.
He likes doing things like that. IPL brings the best flavours of the West Indies boys and there was something very different and unique which was in a good taste," he&nbsp;told reporters here. <img title="Kieron Pollard.

Pollard was 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&nbsp;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&nbsp;Ponting and Anil Kumble sitting in the dugout.
Asked about his unique on-field behaviour, Pollard said it was just for fun.
