Nicholas Pooran hits Rahul Chahar for 6,4,6 in the

The jubilation of taking the wicket of Marcus Stoinis turned into agony for Rahul Chahar in the next over he bowled. Lucknow Super Giants stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran took him to the cleaners and smashed it all over the park at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

On the first ball of the over, Nicholas Pooran dispatched the flighted delivery towards the deep mid-wicket area. It was a massive six and if this was not enough, he then followed it up with the boundary towards the long-on region.

The carnage, however, didn’t stop there as on the third ball of the over Nicholas Pooran slammed another six straight over the head of the bowler and made Rahul Chahar look clueless with his brutal power hitting.
