Nicholas Pooran put on a show with the bat in the IPL 2025 clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in Vizag on Monday, March 24. The wicketkeeper-batter smashed four sixes in a row against Tristan Stubbs as the over yielded 28 runs.
The flurry of sixes came in the 13th over of LSG’s innings. The first ball resulted in a duck but Pooran then began his sixes show. The left-handed batter smashed four consecutive maximums towards deep backward square leg, long-on (twice) and long-off. He then played a straight drive to begin the over on a high, leaving DC in disarray. In the over, he also completed his 10th fifty in the IPL.
During his power-packed knock, Pooran became the fourth batter to complete 600 sixes in T20s, joining the likes of Chris Gayle (1056), Kieron Pollard (908*) and Andre Russell (733*).
