Over the past few years, West Indies batsman Nicholas Pooran has shown remarkable consistency in the game’s abbreviated format. Prior to playing for the Durban Super Giants in the second SA20 tournament, Nicholas Pooran talked about his objectives. He wants to continue turning in game-winning performances to lead his side to victory at the end of the campaign.
Notably, Durban’s season-opening match will be played at home against MI Cape Town. Rashid Khan’s Cape Town finished last in the 2023 competition, but Nicholas Pooran is unwilling to write them off and would rather focus on the present. He further stated that the squad that can maintain composure the longest will ultimately triumph.
Nicholas Pooran told IOL, “I just want to keep doing what I’ve been doing for the past couple of years, which is consistently putting in game-winning performances and trying to help my teammates be successful as well.
Regardless of the players on each team, the game is played on that particular day. We also have a pretty strong lineup with several talented players. It is as simple as that: it is about execution, bat against ball. The person who can remain composed for the longest has a greater chance of succeeding. The 28-year-old stated prior to facing MI Cape Town, “We’re ready, and we’re looking forward to the challenge.”
It offers us West Indian athletes one more chance to improve: Nicholas Pooran
The West Indies did not make it to the 2022 T20 World Cup or the 2023 ODI World Cup. Thinking back on it, Nicholas Pooran said that the past few years have been very difficult for the West Indies, but he is grateful that competitions like the SA20 have given them the chance to excel.
“The past few years have not lived up to expectations, but with a new year come fresh opportunities for all of us. I’m incredibly grateful and delighted about competitions like the SA20 because they provide us West Indian players another chance to improve, learn from and be nourished by international superstars, and I believe that’s important for us,” the southpaw continued.
