In a five-match T20I series, West Indies won 3-2, and India suffered three losses. Romario Shepherd and Jason Holder, among others, shone out for the West Indies team throughout the series, but Nicholas Pooran was the game-changing player, scoring 176 runs at an average of 35.20 and a strike rate of 141.94. In actuality, the wicketkeeper-batter was the only batter to score more runs for either team.
Nicholas Pooran decisive 47 off 35 balls helped his team win the fifth T20I in a landslide as they chased 166 to win the series in Lauderhill. Arshdeep Singh’s ball, though, struck the southpaw in the midsection during the knock. In the sixth over, Brandon King struck Pooran on the forearm with a bludgeoning pitch off Kuldeep Yadav.
On social media, the former captain of the West Indies shared a photo of his combat injuries. Nicholas Pooran captioned the photo on his ‘X’ handle, “The after effects thank you brandon king and arsdeep.” The 27-year-old was rightfully given the Player of the Series honor for his outstanding returns throughout the series.

Our key player is Nicholas Pooran: Rovman Powell
Rovman Powell, the captain of the West Indies, lavished accolades on Pooran during the post-game speeches. The 30-year-old praised Pooran and said that the team’s management had requested him to perform well in three of the team’s five games, and the left-handed hitter didn’t let them down.
Nicholas Pooran is an important player for us; we asked him to deliver in at least three of the five games, and he did. Nobody can perform well in every game, so we asked him to attempt to win three games, according to Rovman.
For the West Indies, who have recently had trouble finding their footing in all formats, this was a much-needed series victory.
