GT vs LSG IPL 2025: Lucknow Super Giants star batter Nicholas Pooran scripted history on Thursday as he became the first player to have smashed 100 sixes for the Lucknow-based franchise during their clash against GT in Ahmedabad on Thursday. He had become the first player to have achieved this milestone.
Pooran required just three sixes to achieve this 100-mark milestone and he did so by smashing R Sai Kishore for a huge six on the fourth ball during the 15th over.

Nicholas Pooran came into bat at No.3 position for the Lucknow-based franchise and brought up his fifty off just 23 balls. After scoring his fifty, he also achieved the milestone of scoring 500 runs during the ongoing season.
He has become the fourth player besides KL Rahul, Quintin de Kock, and Mitchell Marsh to have scored 500 runs for LSG.
Lucknow Super Giants had retained Nicholas Pooran for a whopping amount of Rs 21 crore before the mega auction last year due to his consistent batting performance in IPL 2024. He had played in all 14 matches last season and out of scoring 499 runs, he had smashed three half-centuries.
