Nicholas Pooran is on fire in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) star is currently justifying every penny of his Rs 21 crore retention fee, having slammed 145 runs in two games at a ridiculous strike-rate of 258.93. While the stylish left-hander is arguably the best T20 batter in the world right now, he wasn't held in such high regard when LSG shelled out Rs 16 crore for him ahead of IPL 2023, under the mentorship and guidance of Gautam Gambhir.
