Nicholas Pooran delivered a sensational batting display in the IPL 2025 clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in Vizag on Monday, March 24. The wicketkeeper-batter hammered four consecutive sixes off Tristan Stubbs in a 28-run over.
The explosive hitting took place in the 13th over of LSG’s innings. After a dot ball, Pooran launched four back-to-back sixes, targeting deep backward square leg, long-on (twice), and long-off. He then capped off the over with a crisp straight drive. His blistering knock also saw him reach his 10th IPL fifty.
With this innings, Pooran became only the fourth player to smash 600 sixes in T20 cricket, joining Chris Gayle (1056), Kieron Pollard (908*), and Andre Russell (733*).
