Nicholas Pooran surpassed KL Rahul: Nicholas Pooran broke this big record of KL Rahul, created history for Lucknow

New Delhi: Nicholas Puran made a big record for Lucknow Supergiants in the match against Gujarat Titans. In the match against Gujarat, Puran played an inning of 19 runs in 21 balls. With this, he has become the highest run scorer for Lucknow in IPL. In this matter, Puran has now left behind former Lucknow captain KL Rahul.

Let us tell you that Puran was retained by LSG for Rs 21 crore before the mega auction of IPL 2025. Now Puran has 1422 runs in his name for this team. Puran has achieved this feat in the 47th match for Lucknow. Before Puran, this record was in the name of KL Rahul. Rahul has scored 1410 runs in 38 matches for Lucknow.

Puran’s bat is not working in IPL 2026

Nicholas Puran is playing his fourth season in IPL for Lucknow. In the first three seasons, Puran has shown strong performance for his team, but in IPL 2026, Puran is not scoring runs from his bat. This season, Puran has played a total of four matches for his team so far, in which he has been able to score only 41 runs. In such a situation, it remains to be seen what kind of batting Puran does in the remaining matches of the season.

Lucknow could score only 164 runs against Gujarat

Whereas, if we talk about the match against Gujarat Titans, Lucknow was invited to bat first after losing the toss. Batting first, Lucknow did not have a good start and lost their wickets at frequent intervals. This is the reason that Lucknow team could score only 164 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs game. Aiden Markram scored the maximum 30 runs for the team.
