5. Nicholas Pooran
One of the most dynamic West Indian batsmen of the recent era, Nicholas Pooran, almost went off the cliff after meeting an accident while returning from training at the age of 19. Doctors had told him that cricket could not be his career after he fractured his legs. It took him seven months to walk.
He was shackled to a wheelchair, but his intent was strongly flapping. The braveheart fought all the odds and started to repair his fitness after he walked again. It took him two years to return on the field.
In 2020, he became the UNO-card for Kings XI Punjab and won many hearts. Pooran gave a boost to their middle order. Pooran, 25, is continuing his stint with Kings XI Punjab, now Punjab Kings.
