Nicholas Pooran's Six-Hitting Masterclass Shakes IPL 2026

Nicholas Pooran has flipped the script in IPL 2026, and it was about time! After a rough patch, the Lucknow Super Giants star roared back to life with an insane display against the Mumbai Indians. Scoring just 82 runs in his first eight games, Pooran unleashed a barrage of sixes that had fans on their feet.

His innings kicked off with a monstrous slog sweep over long on off Will Jacks' very first delivery. Jacks then served up some leg-side filth, which Pooran gleefully punished with two more sixes. By the time he was done with AM Ghazanfar, Pooran had whacked eight maximums, propelling him to a blistering half-century off just 16 balls—the joint second-fastest this season.

Despite eventually falling for 63 off 21, Pooran's fireworks lit up the match and reignited Lucknow's campaign. If this is the Pooran we can expect moving forward, then buckle up for a wild ride in the IPL!
