Kieron Pollard and Jofra Archer were among the major award winners of the just-concluded 2020 IPL season.
Pollard, whose team the Mumbai Indians won the league for a record fifth time, was voted the Super Striker of the Season Award.
The powerful Trinidadian, batting down the order for the 2020 champions, scored 268 runs at an average of 53.60 and at a phenomenal strike rate of 191.42. Among those 268 runs were 15 fours and 22 majestic sixes.
The Barbados-born Archer, who now represents England, was the tournament MVP.
He proved to be a valuable member of the Rajasthan Royals for whom he took 20 wickets at an economy rate of 6.55, the best in the league for a fast bowler. He produced his best bowling against the Delhi Capitals on October 14 when he returned figures of 3 for 19 from his allotment of four overs.
