Rampaging shots and that too, to all sides of the ground and notching up a ton off just 31 deliveries and that’s about it. There are things that only a Nicholas Pooran can do, ain’t it?

The thing about great players is that they’ll always try and fight their way through bad or patchy form and play the kind of innings that suits talents of their ilk and where it comes to the shortest form of the game, i.e., T20 cricket, to state specifically, then perhaps it doesn’t hurt a great deal to say the fact that Nicholas Pooran is a great of the format. Lethal and attacking and presenting a case to bowlers where they basically contest like second fiddle to his destructive ways, here is a batter who simply knows how to entertain and get the bat to do the talking.

And picture this: none of what has been said is, in any way, randomspeak: it’s what it actually is at the end of the day. The fearless and ferocious attacking left hander from Trinidad turned the MLC stage into just as picturesque and grand a theatre, most recently, as is his unavoidably wonderful batting.  

So the big question is- just what did Pooran do all of a sudden to elicit such warm praise and from all corners?

Well, the big talents always get into smashing ways of owning the big stage. And courtesy a 31-ball century, let that number sink in, Nicholas Pooran fired up a wonderful and simply brilliant 106 run knock taking just 33 deliveries to get to his century run knock. He helped courtesy 5 boundaries and 13 sixes his MI New York side to score 266 runs.

Another magnificent effort in the very same inning came by virtue of Pollard who scored 64 off just 25 odd deliveries. At the end of the day, any score in this format of the game when in excess of 250 is bound to be considered a heroic effort. Just that despite all that courageous brilliance on the part of the former West Indian cricketer, the Washington Freedom side were able to a chase down the monumental ask.

And that was courtesy twin hundreds. Yes, you read that right; twin hundreds from the bat of the legendary Aussie Steve Smith who scored 110 off just 48 and the brilliant Andries Gous who scored 132 runs off 51 deliveries.

But spare a thought. Spare a thought for the attacking, brilliant, and ingenious talent of Nicholas Pooran, who pretty much carried the heavy burden of run, scoring on his own shoulders. One also can’t help, but imagine just what might have happened with Nicholas Pooran would have continued to perform as a best Indian cricketer participating in the national duties of the Caribbean side? He brings such great experience with the for, and as a former captain of West Indies is still very much in great thick of the things. But thank you for the entertainment and energy you’ve brought to the Major League Cricket in America.
