Nicholas Pooran is one of the most powerful hitters of the cricket-ball, and he can take apart best of the bowling attacks with great ease. In the all-important Qualifier 1 of the Abu Dhabi T10 2024, Nicholas Pooran displayed his full range and blasted 72 off just 33 balls to stage a big win for his side.

The Caribbean star hit 4 fours and five sixes in his knock and one of those was an unbelievable scoop shot that reminded fans of Rishabh Pant's antics. It was the ninth over of Deccan Gladiators' innings and Nicholas Pooran was till then in his full flow. Mohammad Zahid was the bowler and he bowled a full toss, outside off.

Pooran though was at his innovative best and went low, moved across to his left and scooped a full toss above his waist height for a six over fine leg. He also fell on the ground in the process and it was exactly how Rishabh Pant executes that shot.

It was called a no-ball by the TV umpire due to its height and Pooran stayed unbeaten after coming out to open the innings with Tom Kohler-Cadmore. Deccan Gladiators scored 147 while batting first, while Morrisville Samp Army could only muster 102 runs in response to a disciplined bowling by Pooran's unit. The win took them to the final of the competition and the winner of Qualifier 2 between Morrisville Samp Army and Delhi Bulls will play them in the final.
