IPL 2023: Best starting XI of LSG after mini auction
LSG broke the bank to sign Nicholas Pooran at IPL 2023 auction and acquired him after spending a staggering sum of INR 16 crore.
4. Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran has been a prominent figure in the T20 circuit. He has featured in 256 T20 games and amassed 4942 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 141.15. The 27-year-old has also set the IPL arena ablaze with his sensational performances and scored 912 runs in 47 matches at a strike rate of 151.24.
The Lucknow franchise went hammer and tongs to sign Pooran at the IPL 2023 auction and eventually grabbed him for a whopping sum of INR 16 crore. The West Indies batter will likely fit into the middle-order slot that was entrusted to Evin Lewis last season.
Pooran is a ferocious striker of the cricket ball and has the ability to take the attack to the opposition right from the get-go. His inclusion will add explosiveness to the batting line-up and the Lucknow franchise would hope the wicketkeeper-batter lights up the IPL 2023 with his stunning batting displays.
