In a compelling show of cricketing camaraderie, Nicholas Pooran of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians’ (MI) Tilak Varma were spotted deep in conversation during a pre-match practice session, exchanging ideas on batting technique and the mental game behind clearing the ropes.
Pooran shared his insight, “Before I used to think, it’s a big side, I’d get out. But I know it’s not big side once you hit it down. And the batter is not thinking about the fielder or the gap as well.” This remark underscores how crucial both mental approach and proper technique are for effective power-hitting.

Tilak Varma, recognized for his attacking approach at the crease, replied with an insightful remark:

This exchange between Nicholas Pooran and Tilak Varma highlights how crucial mindset is in cricket. Both emphasized that confidence and solid technique are key to successful power-hitting.
