In the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Nicholas Pooran caused mayhem as the Lucknow Super Giants defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by just one wicket in a nail-biting last over. With the help of Pooran’s devastating batting, Lucknow successfully chased down a huge target of 213 runs, setting a new record for this Indian Premier League (IPL) season.
Immediately following the outstanding innings, Lucknow posted a video that, in my opinion, best captures what Pooran did on the pitch. What transpired in Chinnaswamy today was the question addressed in the text that accompanied the film. The Caribbean batter responds, “Bhaukaal ho gaya. (There was mayhem)” in chaste Hindi. That was not it; Pooran also shared memes from his knock on his Instagram stories inviting reactions from fans.
LSG completed the fourth-highest run chase in IPL history
While attempting to match Royal Challengers Bangalore’s enormous score of 212, Lucknow didn’t get off to the best start. For a duck, in-form starter Kyle Mayers went back to the dugout. The other batters in the top order, including captain KL Rahul, were below par. When Marcus Stoinis entered the game, things began to change. The huge Australian batted quickly, scoring 65 runs off just 30 pitches.
After Stoinis’ wicket, Lucknow appeared to face an impossibly difficult job. At that point, Nicholas Pooran decided to act independently. With the Bangalore bowling assault, the power hitter showed no compassion, scoring a half-century in just 15 balls. Pooran scored 62 runs in just 19 balls. He hit four boundaries and seven sixes in his bat.
RCB attempted to take control of the game after Mohammad Siraj trapped Pooran in the 19th over. Still, a team effort by Ayush Badoni, Jaydev Unadkat, and Ravi Bishnoi helped Lucknow secure the victory. Avesh Khan, who received the final delivery, displayed outstanding athleticism by executing a quick single. Gautam Gambhir, the team mentor of the Lucknow Super Giants, was also trending alongside Nicholas Pooran due to his incredible show of emotions following the decisive victory.
