Nicholas Pooran's explosive performance in the 2025 IPL season positions him as a leading T20 player, achieving new records and drawing global admiration.

Nicholas Pooran: T20 Sensation in IPL 2025

In the 2025 IPL, Nicholas Pooran's explosive batting has solidified his place as a top T20 player. His remarkable performances for Lucknow Super Giants are setting new standards in cricket, as highlighted by experts including Harbhajan Singh.

Nicholas Pooran's explosive performance in the 2025 IPL season positions him as a leading T20 player

Nicholas Pooran is redefining T20 cricket standards in the 2025 IPL with blazing performances for Lucknow, marking himself as one of the best T20 players.

In a stunning display of power hitting, West Indies' Nicholas Pooran has firmly established himself as the standout player in the T20 format, according to former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh.
The 29-year-old has been pivotal in turning the tide for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). His recent heroics include a blistering 70 off just 26 balls, leading LSG to a remarkable 5-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) during a challenging 191-run chase.
Harbhajan, clearly impressed by Pooran's consistent and explosive performances in this season's IPL, expressed his admiration on the social platform X, declaring, "Currently Nicholas Pooran is the best player of T20 format. Period!"
Pooran's campaign started with an electrifying 75 from 30 balls against Delhi Capitals, a performance that nearly secured a win for his team.
Unfortunately, despite his valiant efforts, LSG fell short as Delhi clinched a narrow one-wicket victory in Vizag.
These performances have catapulted Pooran to the top of the Orange Cap standings in this 18th edition of the tournament. With 145 runs across two matches, he boasts a staggering average of 72.50 and an astonishing strike rate of 258.92.
Pooran has also become a significant figure in LSG's history books, crossing the 1000-run milestone for the franchise. He achieved this in just 31 matches, maintaining an impressive average of 45.54 with a strike rate of 184.53. Only KL Rahul has amassed more runs for the franchise, with 1410 runs in 38 matches.
Renowned for his effortless power-hitting, Pooran has crossed the fifty-run mark in fewer than 20 deliveries on four occasions, the most by any player in the IPL.
Australian power hitters Travis Head and Jake Fraser-McGurk have managed this feat three times each. Pooran&rsquo;s impressive 18-ball fifty is the second-fastest for LSG, following his own 15-ball spectacle against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2023.
Pooran&rsquo;s remarkable performances are not only etching his name into the records of the IPL but are also redefining the standards for T20 cricket globally.

After smashing Topley for 3 consecutive sixes in a row in the 19th over, Pooran hit two more maximums in the final over off Siraj,

3 top West Indies cricketers, Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder and Kyle Mayers declined central contracts, revealed the Windies Cricket Board on Sunday.
However, the board stated that the 3 players will be available for all T20I matches for the side. The development came just 6 months before the T20 World Cup, which the West Indies and the USA will co-hoast in June.&nbsp;
&ldquo;With a busy year of cricket ahead, in all three formats, we have held several detailed discussions with the two Head Coaches on the brand of cricket they want to play. We are very clear in the direction we want to go. The players who have been offered contracts are among those who we expect to feature, as we look to build towards challenging for the top spot when we host and compete in the ICC Men&rsquo;s T20 World Cup 2024 on home soil," said selector Desmond Haynes.
"We also have away Test Series in Australia and England &ndash; these are two major assignments whilst in the 50-over format we look to build a nucleus of players aimed towards the ICC Men&rsquo;s Cricket World Cup 2027,&rdquo; he further added.
Player and board relations in West Indies have been at a low since a couple of years, with many cricketers opting to play league cricket around the world rather international matches.
The West Indies also failed to qualify for the T20 World Cup in in 2022 and also didn't make it to the recently-concluded Cricket World Cup 2023.

Pooran took over the captaincy from Kieron Pollard in May this year. He was not able to inspire the team as under his captaincy the Caribbean nation managed to win only eight matches in ODIs and T20Is out of 30 games played across the formats.
 Under Pooran's leadership, the two-time T20 World Cup champions even failed to qualify for the Super 12 round in Australia as they faced defeat from Scotland and Ireland in qualifiers.
Pooran's form with the bat has been a cause of concern for the Windies as well given the Southpaw has managed to score only 94 runs in his last 10 innings in T20Is.
The West Indies board will announce the new captain in due course.

After the SunRisers Hyderabad bought Nicholas Pooran for a whopping ₹10.75 crore in the mega auction, a delighted Pooran gave his West Indian teammates a pizza party inside the bio-bubble.
The local manager told PTI that since outside food is not allowed, Pooran placed the order at the hotel chef for 15 pizzas which cost him ₹15,000. As the team is in a grade one bio-bubble, everything had to be sanitised and even the temperature had to be maintained.
A day after the pizza party, the strict bio-bubble resulted in Pooran getting a shock in his hotel room. The Windies batter had requested a spare phone charger which had to be sanitized before it was given to him. 'Sanitiser contains alcohol and probably it did not dry up properly when he plugged it and got a mild jolt,' added the manager.

Mayank getting run out was disaster: KL Rahul

A disappointed KL Rahul&nbsp;feels that&nbsp;after losing wickets in the powerplay, it was tough for the team

After suffering their 5th defeat against Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad on Thursday,&nbsp;Kings XI Punjab&nbsp;skipper KL Rahul&nbsp;said that opening Batsman Mayank&nbsp;Aggrawal's&nbsp;run-out in the second over proved to be a disaster for the team.
KXIP&nbsp;who slumped to a 69-run defeat at the hands of SRH&nbsp;were all out in the 16th over itself. The disappointed skipper accepted that after losing wickets in the power play, it was tough as the team was only playing 6 batters.
But the skipper admitted there was a&nbsp;silver lining, he lauded Nicholas Pooran's&nbsp;efforts who scored 77 off 37 balls. He also said that after struggling during the death overs&nbsp;in the last 5 games, the bowlers exhibited courage and pulled things back. KXIP&nbsp;who will next face KKR&nbsp;on Saturday, are lurking at the bottom of the IPL&nbsp;points table.&nbsp;
