On July 30, Nicholas Pooran displayed his talent during the Major League Cricket Championship game, winning praise from the cricketing world. Many people were perplexed when it was recently reported that he was not included in the West Indies team for the ODI series against India. However, the real cause was his commitment to MI New York, a team in Major League Cricket (MLC) in the United States.
Pooran’s batting skills were on display during the World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabwe, where he scored 296 runs in all, good for second place on the scoring lists. Among his standout performances were a quick 115 against Nepal and an unbroken 104, despite losing the Super Over to the Netherlands.
However, Pooran’s abilities were truly tested in the MLC 2023 championship game.
The energetic left-handed hitter, facing an impossible 184-run goal, displayed pure brilliance by scoring a century in just 40 balls. His outstanding performance, which saw MI New York win and win the first MLC championship, saw him score 137 runs off 55 balls.
In light of this remarkable achievement, Kieron Pollard expressed his gratitude for Pooran via a mysterious yet sincere statement on Instagram. Pollard applauded Pooran’s remarkable innings and expressed extreme delight in his accomplishments. He advised the young batsman to shrug off his critics with a smile and let his bat speak eloquently in the face of negative remarks.
It’s special, special, special. All the praise for tonight’s game should go to you. Watching you succeed makes me really happy and proud. More to come; you continue to benefit from your behind-the-scenes labour. Keep up, smile at the conceited people, and let your bat do the talking.
Imagine the world was denied this opportunity to knock today,” added Kieron Pollard.

The team would be eager to win the series as they prepare for the final ODI since it would not only wrap up the series but also provide them a huge morale boost after they failed to make it to the ODI World Cup 2023
