Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batter Nicholas Pooran set the stage on fire in the ongoing game against Delhi Capitals (DC). The fourth game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is taking place at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
Nicholas Pooran was at his brutal best and was all over the Delhi Capitals bowlers. The left-hander walked out to bat at three and right from the word go, he started hitting boundaries, slamming bowlers all over the park.
Nicholas Pooran looked in a threatening mood, hit every bowler for sixes and fours
Nicholas Pooran looked in a threatening mood as he didn’t spare a single bowler and made almost everyone stand and applaud him for his heroics. His best came in the over of Tristan Stubbs, where he assaulted the spinner and slammed him for 28 runs in over.
The over started with the dot, and after that, it was all about Nicholas Pooran and his brutal hitting. On the second ball of the over, the LSG batter went down on his knee and swept the delivery on middle and leg uppishly over deep backward square leg for a massive six.
The third ball of the over had the same result as that of the second. Tristan Stubbs bowled a tossed-up delivery, and the batter launched it over long-on for a massive six. He then followed it up with another maximum as he hit the floated delivery over long on for a massive six.
If this was not enough, Pooran then hammered another six. Tristan Stubbs bowled a loopy delivery on the off stump, to which Nicholas Pooran stayed put and tonked it over long-off to put the Delhi Capitals bowlers under massive pressure.
Pooran then ensured that he ended the over on high as he slammed a boundary on the last ball. Tristan Stubbs bowled a full delivery to which the batter drilled it past the bowler. The spinner couldn’t get his hand to it and the ball raced away to the fence for four.
No escaping #NicholasPooran‘s onslaught as he brings up his fifty! 💪
