Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batter Nicholas Pooran talked about his decision to return to India for the resumption of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. He said that he believes that he has a job to finish and he needs to win the remaining games for his team.
Lucknow Super Giants batter Nicholas Pooran has joined Lucknow Super Giants for the resumption of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The keeper-batter will be holding a key for his team in the remaining games, as they still have a chance to qualify for the playoffs of the tournament.
Nicholas Pooran has been the major reason behind the good performances of Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2025. The West Indies National Cricket Team batter started the tournament on a high as he played brutal knocks, helping his team dominate the opposition.
Nicholas Pooran was the leading run-getter in the first phase of the IPL, as he slammed over 300 runs with a strike rate of over 200. The Lucknow Super Giants batter, however, in the last few games, looked a bit rusty as he bagged a series of low scores.
However, with the kind of player that he is and the impact that he made in the first few games, he will be key for his team. If Lucknow Super Giants have to fancy their chances of qualifying for the playoffs, Pooran needs to bring his A game with the bat.
