Lucknow Super Giants opted to send Nicholas Pooran out to bat in the Super Over despite his poor run of form.The left-hander has struggled in IPL 2026 so far, with his highest score in seven matches being just 22 off 25 balls.”We discussed as a group, we had a discussion, and the name that came up was Nicholas Pooran. He might not go through the best form of his life, but at the same time, you will trust your player in a hard situation like this,” Pant said.Pant admitted there were no excuses for the result.”No excuses there. Just looking at the positive, there might not be enough positive right now, but I think after the break, there will be a lot of enough positive for sure,” he said.With this thrilling win, KKR moved to eighth place with five points from eight matches, while LSG slipped to the bottom of the IPL 2026 standings.
