Is LSG's star batter running on empty ahead of IPL 2026?
Nicholas Pooran's recent performances have got Ravichandran Ashwin worried, and honestly, who isn’t? With IPL 2026 looming, Ashwin pointed out that Pooran looks more drained than a pie chucker on a sticky wicket. LSG's hopes for their first title hinge on their big hitters, and right now, Pooran's form is raising eyebrows.
The left-handed dynamo, who’s just called time on his international career, is expected to be a pillar for the Lucknow Super Giants. But if he carries on like this, he could find himself on the bench sooner than he thinks. Ashwin's concerns highlight a growing worry among fans: can Pooran rediscover his explosive touch in time for the new season?
With a squad filled with batting talent, LSG needs a fully charged Pooran to light up the tournament. The pressure is mounting, and it’s time for him to step up before the season kicks off. Will he shake off the rust and become the game-changer they need?
