The West Indies star Nicholas Pooran has been once again dismissed for a low score against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He hasn't been anywhere next to his best as he has failed to find his six-hitting form. The Lucknow Super Giants haven’t clicked off yet with their batting efforts as their top order has been below par. Pooran is a batter taht usually deals in only sixes and he has only hit 3 sixes in the 4 matches that he has played.
The Lucknow Super Giants were off to a slow start and Mitchell Marsh was able to find the occasional boundary at odd times. Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram couldn’t generate any momentum as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood were simply exceptional with their execution of line and lengths. Aiden Markram was dismissed by Rasikh Salam in the 4th over.
Nicholas Pooran walked out to bat at number 3 and his role was pretty clear as he had to fire some sixes to get the scoreboard ticking. He was struggling to get off the mark against Rasikh Salam as he played 3 dots in a row. Pooran was under pressure to score boundaries from the next over and Josh Hazlewood bowled the perfect delivery that got him to chop the ball back onto the stumps. Nicholas Pooran was dismissed for 1 off just 7 balls.
Fans vent frustration as Pooran’s poor form and lack of six-hitting spark criticism online

Too Worst with the bat . not putting efforts in fielding. Playing Too many dots, never looking for run. In ILT20 also , looking for defense and all over the world leagues too. Is Nicholas Pooran really having bad phase or anything going beyong that? pic.twitter.com/YRfgoNJtAx
