DC vs LSG: Nicholas Pooran lit up the Visakhapatnam sky with an explosive knock, reaffirming his reputation as one of the most destructive T20 batters. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) star smashed 75 off just 30 balls, including an electrifying 28-run over against Delhi Capitals' Tristan Stubbs in their IPL 2025 encounter, leaving fans in awe of his batting on social media.

Coming in at No. 3 after an aggressive start from Mitchell Marsh (72 off 36), Pooran wasted no time, launching a brutal assault. His innings featured seven sixes and six boundaries, with four maximums coming in a single over-an exhibition of raw power that left fans in awe.

X, formerly Twitter, erupted in praise, with fans calling Pooran a "monster" in the T20 format. One fan summed up the mood, stating, "Nicholas Pooran once again proved why he is the deadliest batsman in T20s and justifying his retention & price tag."

Another couldn't contain their excitement: "NICHOLAS POORAN - THE MONSTER. He is different level in Sixes..!!!"

The LSG batter's onslaught saw him reach his half-century in just 24 deliveries. However, despite his heroics and a strong start, Lucknow lost momentum in the latter half of their innings. From a commanding 133/1 in the 12th over, they stumbled to 209/8 by the end of their innings, as Delhi's bowlers clawed back control.

Kuldeep Yadav (2/20) and Mitchell Starc (3/42) played a pivotal role in limiting the damage, but Pooran's fireworks had already set the tone for the match.

While Lucknow may have fallen short of an ideal total, Pooran's innings ensured the game would be remembered for his fearless hitting. His monstrous sixes, especially in that jaw-dropping over, had fans and analysts declaring: "NICHOLAS POORAN MADNESS."

Brief Scores: Lucknow Super Giants: 209/8 in 20 overs (Nicholas Pooran 75, Mitchell Marsh 72; Kuldeep Yadav 2/20, Mitchell Starc 3/42).
