The Hundred 2024: Nicholas Pooran showcased pure cricketing brilliance in The Hundred on Sunday's (August 11) encounter between Northern Superchargers and Manchester Originals.

The Caribbean smacked a 113-meter maximum en route to his quickfire half-century at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.

Playing for Northern Superchargers, Nicholas Pooran went all guns blazing in the run-chase and gave the opposition bowlers a run for their money. The bowlers tried their maximum best to keep the Caribbean in check but the West Indies' power-hitter braved the challenges and came through with flying colours.

During the 74th delivery, the wicketkeeper-batter unleashed his fury when Scott Currie pitched in with a full-length delivery on leg-stump. In reply, the aggressive left-hander generated immense bat speed against the pace of the ball while also timing it to perfection like a hot knife through butter.

As it turned out, the ball travelled a long way towards the deep mid-wicket and went out of the ground. The spectators immensely enjoyed watching the ball go out of the ground. The sheer power and audacity of such a shot from Pooran had everyone on their feet, cheering and celebrating.

The video clip of the same was posted on the official page and the social media lit up with replays, memes and praise for Pooran's humongous six. In the process, the 29-year-old struck an unbeaten 66 off 33 balls, laced with 2 fours and a flurry of 8 sixes at a strike rate of 200 as Northern Superchargers won the game by 7 wickets with three balls to spare.

Earlier, Manchester Originals posted 152/7 in their allotted quota of 100 balls. Captain Phil Salt top-scored with 61 off 28 balls, including 5 fours and 4 sixes at a strike rate of 217.86. On the other hand, Northern Superchargers got the job done, courtesy of Nicholas Pooran's batting masterclass, for which he was adjudged the Player of the Match.
