Latest News :- In-form Nicholas Pooran scored 2 consecutive centuries in 3 days in the Caribbean Premier League. Tribango Knight Riders' Nicholas Pooran has had a mixed performance this year. He scored 506 runs in 11 innings in the Caribbean Premier League. Average 56 runs and strike rate 169.69. He has bowled to a wide variety of bowlers from eight countries. Be it International T20 or Franchise T20, Nicholas Pooran has established himself as an unstoppable action player.
Nicholas Pooran has scored 2251 runs in 67 T20I matches in 2024 at an average of 45.02. Strike rate 160. One century is equal to 15 fifties. The main reason for this brilliant year of Nicholas Pooran was his 165 sixes along with 154 fours in the year. No other player has scored so many runs in a calendar year. Chris Gayle was the unstoppable action king. Chris Gayle's 135 sixes in 2015 were considered an unbreakable record. But Nicholas Pooran blew it away in 2024 and hit a new peak of 165 sixes.
The record for scoring the most T20 runs in a year is in the name of Pakistan's Rizwan, who has scored 2026 runs. Now Nicholas Puran has pushed him back. Rizwan can be called a slightly cautious bowler. But not Nicholas Pooran. Nicholas Pooran has opened new areas in T20 batting. This year, 71% of his 2251 runs came from the boundary, which gives an idea of his batting form. If 165 runs are scored only with sixes then it reaches close to one thousand runs.
But Chris Gayle's record is 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017. He holds the record for hitting most sixes in a year in T20 cricket. Nicholas Pooran has moved from 16th to fourth position in terms of hitting sixes all-time in the current T20. Moving forward, he has pushed back players like Rohit Sharma, Glenn Maxwell, Jos Buttler and Miller. Is 2024 the end of it? No May Isles still has to play 11 more T20 matches before December. So there is no end to the Purana, so this year is 'Annus Mirabilis' – a miraculous year for the Purana.
