There is no doubt that Nicholas Pooran of West Indies bats hard. This can be estimated by looking at his T20 cricket statistics. At the same time, he is also showing a glimpse of his stormy innings while playing against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024.

In this match, Puran played an inning of 34 runs in 15 balls with the help of 3 fours and 2 sixes.

Hayden said, “Devdutt Padikkal faced 19 balls before getting out, which put pressure on Marcus Stoinis. But then Nicholas Pooran, who hits big shots, comes forward. Pooran is definitely the cleanest striker in this IPL. He is a There were great batsmen who batted well against the fast bowlers and spinners. Both of them played well against the big hitters like Ruturaj Gaikwad. Nicholas Pooran exploded in the end. Deepak Hooda also contributed with some excellent strokes.”

Some people believe that LSG needs a stronger Needing a finisher who can finish off games, Pooran is brilliant in this role. However, others say that Devdutt Padikkal has not performed well in this tournament and suggest that he maximizes his impact for more overs. To do this, Pooran may be moved up to bat at #4 along with Stoinis.”

He concluded by saying, “He has also been a successful finisher for LSG and West Indies. The team is still quite comfortable with him batting lower down the order. However, as the tournament progresses and the scoreboard pressure increases There may be scope for an experienced international player to step in and guide the innings.” Puran has played 8 matches in IPL 2024 and has scored 280 runs with the help of an excellent strike rate of 169.70 and scored one half-century.
