Nicholas Pooran again showed why he is considered one of the most devastating batsmen in T20 cricket. At the Ekana Stadium on Saturday evening, he tore apart the famed Gujarat Titans bowling attack to help hosts Lucknow Super Giants register a six-wicket win in a pulsating finish. 

Mainly dealing in sixes, the West Indian southpaw played an innings to remember as he notched up another half-century to make a seemingly challenging 181-run target look easy till he was at the crease. By the time Pooran departed after collecting 61 off just 34 balls with as many as seven sixes and just one four, the victory was well in sight. But the following batters made heavy weather of it and just about romped home with three balls to spare.
