Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in collaboration with West Indies cricket star Nicholas Pooran has once again shown his deep affection for regional sports enthusiasts with a heartfelt social media post that’s winning fans’ hearts.
The IPL franchise and their explosive left-handed batsman took to Instagram to share a video of Pooran in his team jersey interacting with a fan who happened to suffer a head injury from a sixer he hit during the match between LSG and GT. The post is captioned with the fan’s reply to Pooran’s enquiry about his recovery—”Bas apni Lucknow ki team jeetti rehni chahiye” (I just want my Lucknow team to keep winning).
In the image, Pooran is seen in batting gear, autographing a cap while interacting with the fan, who reassures him that he’s fine. His concern for the fan embodies the confident yet humble demeanor that has made him a fan favorite across cricket-loving nations.
Pooran’s Recent LSG Heroics
This post comes on the heels of Pooran’s stellar performances for LSG in the ongoing IPL 2025 season. The West Indian wicketkeeper cum batsman has been instrumental in several crucial victories for the franchise as they continue their push toward playoff qualification. This particular incident that occurred during a match against the Gujarat Titans was where Pooran’s seven iconic sixes and run chases caused the team to win by six wickets and two balls to spare.
Pooran’s dedication to LSG’s success goes beyond personal milestones. This team-first mentality has endeared him to the LSG fanbase and management alike. His commitment to the franchise shows through his consistent messaging about wanting the team to succeed rather than focusing solely on personal accolades.
The West Indies Star’s Journey
Just days before this post, Pooran shared images celebrating a significant win with the caption “Walking in after the W” showing his jubilation after contributing to an LSG victory. He has consistently been among the team’s top performers, delivering explosive batting displays when needed most. His journey to cricket stardom wasn’t without challenges – he survived a serious car accident in 2015 that threatened to end his career before it truly began.
His comeback story has been remarkable, becoming a mainstay in the West Indies limited-overs setup and a sought-after player in T20 leagues worldwide. With LSG, he has found a team that values his contributions and allows his aggressive batting style to flourish. Pooran’s bond with his teammates and spectators reflects the growing trend of international players developing strong bonds with their IPL franchises. His efforts towards interacting with the regional people demonstrate his desire to connect more deeply with the team’s fan base.
As the IPL 2025 season progresses, Pooran’s contributions will be crucial to LSG’s playoff aspirations. His message is clear – all he wants is for his Lucknow team to keep winning, a sentiment that resonates perfectly with the franchise’s supporters.
