Nicholas Pooran’s beast mode in IPL 2025

Nicholas Pooran is currently the second-leading run-getter of the tournament so far. The southpaw has collected 368 runs in eight innings at an average of 52.57 and a strike rate of 205.58, shouldering four half-centuries at the best score of 87*.

He started the tournament on a bang with two successive half-centuries to his name. Against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens in the afternoon fixture, he nailed his highest score to keep the Kolkata bowlers at bay.

Whether it’s against the pacers and the spinners, he has always shown incredible timing and rhythm with the free flow of the bat to drill the big shots. He is one of the reasons behind Luckow Super Giants doing well in the batting department.

Nicholas Pooran’s two struggling knocks saw the Rishabh Pant-led side finding it hard to tackle the spinners in the middle overs. That proves his importance in the batting department.
