"Consistency has a name — and it's Nicholas Pooran" - Fans in awe as wicketkeeper-batter smashes 56* off 27 balls in GT vs LSG IPL 2025 match

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)'s Nicholas Pooran was at his best with the bat, smashing his fifth fifty of IPL 2025 against the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, May 22. The wicketkeeper-batter smashed an unbeaten 56 runs off 27 balls at a strike rate of 207.41 with the help of five maximums and four boundaries. During his half-century, the left-hander shared a 121-run partnership with centurion Mitchell Marsh for the second wicket.

With 511 runs in 13 innings, Pooran has justified his price tag after the Super Giants retained him for INR 21 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction last year. The southpaw is the second LSG batter after Marsh to reach 500 runs this season.

Fans on X lauded Nicholas Pooran for yet another entertaining knock. One user wrote:

"Consistency has a name — and it's Nicholas Pooran! 5 ifties this season and still firing!"

Another user commented:

"There’s a high I can only feel when I watch Nicholas Pooran play, I can’t explain it."

"Nicholas Pooran self confidence against spinner is different level," a third user added as Pooran denied a single before hitting a six off Sai Kishore during his blazing knock.
