In an unpleasant visual for the fans, the star LSG batter Nicholas Pooran was seen venting out his anger, throwing his pads. It happened when he lost his cool after Abdul Samad’s dismissal on the fifth ball of the last over. The moment came just two balls later after Nicholas Pooran himself was dismissed in a run-out after failing to reach the striker’s end.
The video of Nicholas Pooran throwing his pads on the balcony glass out of anger also went viral on social media as soon as it was shared by a user on X (formerly Twitter).
Here’s the video:
