'I Practise A Lot And After A Time Everything Comes Naturally': Nicholas Pooran
While speaking at the post-match presentation, Pooran opened up on his aggressive knock against the Knight Riders and said that it comes naturally after a lot of practice.
“I have been asked this question a million times (how does he hit sixes so frequently), I practise a lot and after a time everything comes naturally. You understand what is needed in a game, you know what the bowlers are going to bowl and you work according to that,” Pooran as quoted by Cricbuzz.
He showered praise on Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram, saying that they have performed brilliantly for the Super Giants in the IPL 2025 so far.
“They (Marsh and Markram) have been brilliant for us right through the tournament. Both of them have been batting so well in partnerships, they have been gritty against the new ball and doing what the team exactly needs from them. What is my role? Get a start, try to capitalise and win the matchups,” he added.
Mitchell Marsh (81) and Aiden Markram (47) cemented a solid 99-run partnership, giving a kickstart to LSG in the Super Giants.
