WATCH: Nicholas Pooran smashes blistering half-century to help LSG post 238-run total against KKR at Eden Gardens

The star LSG batter Nicholas Pooran displayed another blistering performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025. The Caribbean batter smashed 87 runs off 36 balls, with seven fours and eight massive sixes to help his side post a mammoth 238-run total against KKR at the Eden Gardens in the tournament’s 21st game.

Notably, Pooran also completed his half-century off just 21 balls, smashing back-to-back fours and sixes and bashing the KKR bowlers all around the park.

The visuals of the sensational sixes and fours smashed by Nicholas Pooran also went viral on social media as soon as the Indian Premier League (IPL) shared the video from their official X handle (formerly Twitter).

Besides Nicholas Pooran, LSG openers Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh also played blistering knocks, alongside stitching a decisive 99-run partnership of 99 runs for the first wicket in just 10.2 overs. Aiden Markram scored 47 runs off just 28 balls, with 4 fours and two sixes, followed by Mitchell Marsh’s 81 runs off just 48 balls, with six fours and five sixes.

On the back of these three big knocks, the visitors managed to post a mammoth total of 238 runs for the loss of just 3 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Harshit Rana scalped 2 wickets, alongside a wicket claimed by Andre Russell for KKR in the first innings. 

The Rishabh Pant-led LSG are currently placed in the sixth spot on the tournament’s points table, having won and lost two games in their four matches so far. They are coming off a narrow 12-run win against Mumbai Indians in the previous game. A win in this game will help them move to the list of top teams in the tournament’s points table.

Lucknow Super Giants had a losing start to their IPL 2025 campaign with a narrow 1-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals in their campaign opener.
