Nicholas Pooran drops a skier from dangerous-looking Travis Head on 35 in SRH vs LSG IPL 2025 clash [Watch]

Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) Nicholas Pooran gave a reprieve to swashbuckling opener Travis Head in the IPL 2025 match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday, March 27. Pooran dropped the skier when Head was batting on 35.

The incident took place in the sixth over of SRH’s innings. Ravi Bishnoi bowled a floated delivery to kickstart the over, and the Aussie batter went for a big shot towards long-on. Pooran ran back and settled underneath it but failed to complete the catch. He spilled the ball, which came right down his throat.

In the same over, Bishnoi failed to complete a catch and bowled chance, a difficult one though.

Prince Yadav finally knocked Travis Head over for 47 off 28 to bring up his maiden IPL wicket. The pacer was bought by LSG for his base price of ₹30 lakh. The 23-year-old picked up the first hat-trick in the inaugural Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2024 last year.

Meanwhile, Head’s innings comprised three sixes and five boundaries. Head had previously smacked 67 off 31 deliveries as the SunRisers beat the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 44 runs in their opening game of the IPL 2025 season.

The Aussie opener had amassed 567 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 191.55, including one ton and four half-centuries last year.
