In a bizzare incident, Mumbai Indians all-rounder Kieron Pollard taped his mouth after the umpires rapped him for an on-field altercation with fellow-West Indian and Royal Challengers Bangalore batsman Chris Gayle during Sunday's IPL match in Bengaluru.

Pollard had an argument with Gayle at the start of the third over during Royal Challengers Bangalore's mammoth chase of a 210-run target, forcing the on-field umpires, Richard Illingworth of England and Vineet Kulkarni, to intervene and warn the big West Indian.

A miffed Pollard then went to the team's dug-out and pasted adhesive tape on his mouth to show his displeasure over the on-field officials wrath.

The cameras too picked up Pollard's antics quickly and he constantly appeared on the giant screen, thereby bringing a wry smile on the Mumbai Indians coaching staff that included Ricky Ponting and Robin Singh.
