Twitter reactions: Nicholas Pooran steamrolls bowlers with incredible 26-ball 89 in T10 League
West Indies’ power-striker Nicholas Pooran destroyed bowlers in the ongoing T10 League 2021 on Sunday. The left-handed batsman wreaked havoc on the Bangla Tigers, scoring 89 runs from 26 deliveries while playing for Northern Warriors.
Pooran slammed as many as 12 sixes in his breathtaking knock, including 32 runs in the eighth over of the innings at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium. Pooran’s jaw-dropping effort with the willow steered Warriors to 162/4 in 10 overs, which is now the competition’s highest score this season.
In reply, Tigers fell short of the target by 30 runs. Skipper Andre Fletcher slammed 53 runs off 28 balls with four boundaries and four sixes. He was well assisted by the UAE’s Chirag Suri who hit an unbeaten 42 off 16 balls laced up with five sixes.
Watch the video of Pooran’s 12 humungous sixes:

I know at this point it isn’t news, but Nicholas Pooran is just an unreal talent. He is still only 25 and is going to get better over the next few years.

Mad knock from Nicholas Pooran. He scored 89 in just 26 balls for Northern Warriors. He could've scored a century here, but missed by 11 runs. He smashed 12 sixes and 3 fours, 15 boundaries in his 26 balls! Marvelous display of power hitting by him.
