Pooran’s impact in cricket 

Not only for his country West Indies, but wherever Pooran plays, mostly in big T20 leagues such as IPL (Indian Premier League), ILT (International League T20), and CPL (Caribbean Premier League), he entertains the fans with his hard-hitting ability.  

Starting with ILT20 this year, Pooran the skipper of team MI Emirates, ended his International League T20 campaign as the second highest run-scorer with 354 runs in only 10 innings at a strike-rate of 170.19. He won the player of the match award in ILT20 2024 finals after playing an effective 27-ball 57* knock and led his side to victory.  

Later he played as vice-captain of LSG (Lucknow Super Giants) in IPL 2024 and smashed a whopping 499 runs in 14 innings at a strike-rate of 178.21.  

Is Nicholas Pooran the most dangerous T20 batter in the world? 

Yes, Nicholas Pooran is one of the most dangerous T20 batsmen to have ever played the game of cricket.  

Pooran is currently the third highest six hitter in international cricket, with 144 sixes in 90 innings.
