Rishabh Pant and Justin Langer defend sending out-of-form Pooran

Rishabh Pant and Justin Langer defend sending out-of-form Pooran

How Lucknow Super Giants messed up another straightforward chase is a question that would vex their supporters. They made numerous blunders, tactically as well as on the field. Most perplexing was sending an out-of-depth Nicholas Pooran to open the innings in the Super Over. The Trinidadian had laboured for runs and boundaries all season. Suddenly, he was thrown into a high-pressure salon. He got out first ball, attempting a wild sweep of an off-break that spun across him from the low-turning surface. His captain, Rishabh Pant, said Pooran’s was the first name that came up during the discussion. “We had a discussion as a group, we had a discussion and the name came up was Nicky P. He might not go through the best form of his life, but at the same time, you gotta trust your player in a hard situation like this,” he said.

‘Couldn’t hit water if he fell out of boat’: LSG lambasted, management shredded for ‘criminal’ Nicholas Pooran move

‘Couldn’t hit water if he fell out of boat’: LSG lambasted, management shredded for ‘criminal’ Nicholas Pooran move

Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn minced no words as he tore into the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) management for keeping faith in Nicholas Pooran and sending him out in the Super Over against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match on Sunday. The left-handed batter has been woefully out of form in the tournament, looking a pale shadow of his old self. The move to send the former West Indies captain backfired as he was dismissed on the first ball of the Super Over by Sunil Narine, and LSG eventually just managed one run, and the target was overhauled by the three-time champions quite easily. Nicholas Pooran of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) clean bowled by Sunil Narine. Pooran, viewed as one of the best T20 batters in the world, has managed just 82 runs in the 19th edition of the tournament so far, at an average of 10.25. In the regular game time against KKR, the 30-year-old returned with just nine runs off 12 balls and was eventually …

‘It’s not easy for a left-arm spinner to bowl against left-handers’: Jadeja on removing Nicholas Pooran | Cricket News

4 min readApr 23, 2026 01:24 PM IST With six wickets and 128 runs so far, Rajasthan Royals’ all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been among the top five all-rounders this IPL season. Jadeja, with his unbeaten 43-run knock and one wicket, was adjudged Man of the Match in Royals’ 40-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on Wednesday night. The dismissal of power hitter Nicholas Pooran against the left-arm spin of Jadeja was one of those rare instances when a left-handed batsman fell to a left-arm spinner in the IPL. After the match, Jadeja spoke about this matchup, which coaches and teams mostly avoid in the tournament. “It’s not easy for a left-arm spinner to bowl against a left-handed batsman. So it’s not that easy. But sometimes, conditions help you. You get some spin from the wicket, and the ball stops a bit on the surface. So all these things play a big factor. That’s what is happening on this wicket. If I am a batsman facing such a spinner on a wicket where the …

Former cricketer slams Rishabh Pant & Nicholas Pooran as LSG’s big guns fail miserably

3 min readUpdated: Apr 22, 2026 12:43 PM IST Lucknow Super Giants have made a poor start to their Indian Premier League 2026 campaign, and much of the blame lies with their faltering top order. While Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant, and Mitch Marsh have been inconsistent, the team’s biggest concern is the form of star batter Nicholas Pooran. Pooran has had an abysmal season so far, managing just 51 runs in six innings at an average of 8.50 and a strike rate of only 79.68. As a result, LSG are struggling in ninth place on the points table with just four points from six games. Former New Zealand pacer Simon Doull has slammed Pooran following his repeated failures. “Their biggest issue is the three overseas players. You have got three overseas batters in your top five. One of them, Markram, has put in a couple of performances. Marsh has not done a lot, and Pooran has done absolutely nothing. That is your biggest issue,” said Doull on Cricbuzz. “They have basically come out and said …

3 min readUpdated: Apr 5, 2026 06:48 PM IST Lucknow Super Giants Nicholas Pooran had a brain fade moment while playing against the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday when he was dismissed in bizarre fashion. It happened in the 14th over of the match when he was facing Shivang Kumar. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO Pooran went for a sweep and got some portion of the bat to the delivery and thought that the ball had gotten past the keeper and he tried to take a run. But the ball had gone right into the gloves of Ishan Kishan who flicked off the bails. It was a terrible misjudgment and ended up costing LSG a wicket as they went 4 down for 105 runs while chasing 157. Earlier, Mohammed Shami’s inspirational opening spell was pivotal in Lucknow Super Giants restricting Sunrisers Hyderabad to 156 for 9 despite a fantastic counter-attacking century stand by Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy in an IPL match here on Sunday.

WATCH: Bizarre scenes in ILT20 as Nicholas Pooran does not stump Desert Vipers’ Max Holden, team retires out batter | Cricket News

A bizarre scene unfolded during the Desert Vipers vs MI Emirates International League T20 (ILT20) match on Tuesday when Emirates Nicholas Pooran did not stump the Vipers’ Max Holden out even though he had a lot of time to do it. The decision left everyone flabbergasted while the Vipers then retired Holden out in the next over. The incident happened in the 16th over of the Vipers’ innings with Holden batting at 42. Rashid Khan bowled a wideish delivery which Holden tried to go after while coming down the tracks. The batter, however, missed the line completely and was way out of his crease when the ball reached wicketkeeper Pooran. However, the West Indies player did not stump the English batter, allowing Holden to survive. With Holden not really batting fluently, Pooran could have done that to keep him in the middle in order for Emirates to have an advantage but his decision has the cricket world scratching their heads. Ultimately after playing one more ball, the Vipers retired the player out and sent in …
