Lucknow Super Giants: Orange cap holder Nicholas Pooran joked that sometimes he surprises himself with his big sixes after scoring 61 runs off 34 deliveries as Lucknow Super Giants registered a six-wicket win over the Gujarat Giants on Saturday.
Pooran’s innings was laced with seven sixes and one boundary as he continued his fine form in the tournament with his fourth half-century, in six games, and was well supported by Aiden Markram’s 58-run opening cameo.
With Sai Kishore being in top form, having claimed 10 wickets heading into the game, Pooran knew he would have to take on the left-arm finger spinner and he did just that by hitting three sixes in Kishore’s first over. The left-hander stated a lot of his game has to do with understanding which players to go after.
