Nicholas Pooran TROLLED after fans point out PBKS batsman's unique IPL 2021 stat

The Match 14 of IPL 2021 between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is currently underway at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Having won the toss, PBKS skipper KL Rahul decided to bat first. Punjab's decision to bat first backfired massively though as they got off to a nightmarish start.

The Kings were reduced to 47/4 inside nine overs with their top four batsmen - KL Rahul (4), Mayank Agarwal (22), Chris Gayle (15) and Nicholas Pooran (0) back in the pavilion. Notably, Nicholas Pooran's poor run of form continued as he bagged his third duck in just the fourth match of the ongoing IPL season.

In doing so, the Caribbean stumper created a unique and unwanted stat. Pooran became the first player in the history of the IPL to register a two-ball duck, a one-ball duck and a zero-ball duck in the same IPL season. The only runs he has scored came against Delhi Capitals where he managed to score nine runs.

Twitter was abuzz after Nicholas Pooran registered yet another duck in the IPL 2021. Several reactions poured in as fans got creative and ran a meme riot. A certain section of fans also trolled the southpaw for his consecutive failures. Here's a look at how netizens reacted to Pooran's duck.
