On Saturday, two matches of IPL 2025 were witnessed, in which sixes rained from Lucknow and Hyderabad. SRH opener Abhishek Sharma scored 141 runs against Punjab Kings and made a big contribution to Sunrisers' eight-wicket win. On the other hand, Nicholas Pooran played a key role in Lucknow's six-wicket win against Gujarat Titans. However, due to one of his sixes, a spectator sitting in the stands was injured.
Pooran played an aggressive innings of 61 runs off 34 balls against Gujarat which included 7 sixes. Thanks to his innings, Lucknow achieved the target of 181 runs with three balls remaining. But one of those sixes hit the head of a fan on the field. Due to this injury, he was bleeding profusely and was immediately taken to the hospital where he was treated. But according to a video, he had returned to celebrate Lucknow's victory against Gujarat.
The 29-year-old West Indies batsman Nicholas Pooran has a firm grip on the Orange Cap this IPL season. So far this season, he has scored 349 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 215.43.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Pooran said: "It's not about hats but about winning games. The wicket was absolutely good for batting today. As a group, we knew we had depth, and we were batting well, so we tried to keep that going as much as possible. The good thing was that the partnership happened and Aiden kept it going. Unfortunately, Mitch didn't play today and Rishabh came to open. "
Talking about his batting, Pooran said, "I sometimes surprise myself, bring the ball in the middle of the bat and adjust the swing of my bat. "
