During the 26th match of the ongoing 14th season of the Indian Premier League between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Ahmedabad, Punjab Kings batsman Nicholas Pooran didn’t find an end to his woes after getting out without scoring yet another time this season.
Coming in to bat at No. 4 in the 11th over, Pooran had time on his hand to get his eye in and then play his shots. Having said that, the 25-year old player is in such a phase as nothing seems to be working for him.
