PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago. Kieron Pollard has added another milestone to his two-decade T20 career, becoming only the fifth player to take 100 T20 wickets in the Caribbean.

The all-rounder, nicknamed "Lord Pollard", reached the mark after taking two wickets as Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) beat Barbados Tridents by seven wickets at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad.

The numbers

Pollard, 39, a former TKR captain, took his career T20 tally to 341 wickets.

His Caribbean total is made up of 67 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) wickets, 23 in T20 internationals and 13 from other tournaments, placing him among the region's leading T20 bowlers.

He is also the leading run-scorer in combined franchise and international T20 cricket, with 14,933 runs.

Caribbean leaders

Sunil Narine tops the list of T20 wicket-takers in the Caribbean with 175, having recently overtaken Dwayne Bravo as the CPL's leading wicket-taker.

Jason Holder is close behind with 173 wickets, while Bravo is third with 165.

Imran Tahir is fourth with 133 wickets, all of them taken in the CPL, and Pollard completes the top five after reaching his century of wickets.

The milestone is the latest in a two-decade T20 career in which Pollard has become the format's leading run-scorer while also ranking among the Caribbean's most successful bowlers.
