Nicholas Pooran’s wicket against Delhi Capitals was a turning point for LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka. Pooran was dismissed for just 9 runs, and Goenka’s reaction was priceless.
Pooran’s Sudden Slump
Pooran had been on a roll, scoring 349 runs in his first 6 innings with an average of 69.80. However, his last 3 innings have been a disappointment, with a total of just 28 runs. His overall average has now dropped to 47.
Can Pooran Bounce Back?
Pooran still has a chance to regain his top form. With 377 runs, he trails Sai Sudarshan by just 40 runs in the Orange Cap race. LSG will be hoping their star batsman can bounce back strongly.
Goenka’s reaction to Pooran’s dismissal has been making headlines. The LSG owner’s facial expression said it all – a mix of surprise and disappointment.
- Pooran’s dismissal came off a short ball from Mitchell Starc.
- He attempted a pull shot but missed it, and the ball hit the stumps.
LSG’s performance has been mixed under Rishabh Pant’s captaincy. Pant himself has struggled, scoring just 106 runs in 7 innings. Goenka has been seen talking to Pant after matches, suggesting he’s keen to help his team turn things around.
