India vs Windies 2018, 3rd T20I: 3 unnoticed things from the match

#2 Nicholas Pooran powers Windies to a competitive target

Windies looked in a spot of a bother as they lost their third wicket when Ramdin pulled one back onto the stumps trying to cut a flatter delivery off Washington Sundar. Out came Carribean Premier League prodigy Nicholas Pooran. His free-flowing stroke play and innovative shots were on display throughout the innings. His 25-ball 53, third fastest 50 for a Windies player against India included four sixes and four fours.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed faced the major brunt of Pooran’s fury. However, Pooran’s power-hitting ability was on display as he pulled a switch-hit to one of the short deliveries from Chahal to deposit it into the stands.

Apart from his impeccable timing of the ball which helped the Windies in setting a decent target, the timing of this brilliant knock can also prove to be quite effective in making a case for himself with the IPL auctions around the corner.
