“He is like Krishnamachari Srikkanth”: Sidhu compares 29-year-old overseas batter of LSG to legendary opener
Lucknow Super Giants defeated Gujarat Titans by 33 runs in their 13th match of the 18th season of the Indian Premier League 2025. Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran were stunning for the franchise, and their sensational hitting took the team’s total to 235/2 in 20 overs. It proved sufficient in the end, as GT was restricted to 202/9.
Marsh scored 117 runs off 64 balls, including 10 fours and 8 sixes. Pooran continued his impressive form, amassing 56 not out in 27 balls, packed with 5 sixes and 4 fours. The southpaw has accumulated 511 runs in 13 matches at an average of 46.45 and a strike rate of 198.83. He has hit five fifties, 44 boundaries, and 40 sixes so far.
Former India player Navjot Singh Sidhu compared him to the legendary opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth. Lucknow retained Pooran for INR 21 crore, and he was the front-runner to become the franchise captain, but the team management and the owner, Sanjiv Goenka, decided to go for Rishabh Pant, who was bought for INR 27 crore in the mega auction.
