Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batter Nicholas Pooran met with the fan who was struck by one of his sixes at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The incident occurred during LSG’s sixth IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans (GT), when Pooran’s powerful shot hit a spectator named Nabeel on the head.
LSG fan Nabeel was presented with a signed cap by Nicholas Pooran, who expressed his concern and offered a heartfelt gesture of consolation during a conversation ahead of the LSG vs Delhi Capitals clash at the Ekana Stadium. Nabeel, still sporting a bandage on his head from the blow sustained during a previous match, gratefully accepted the cap. In a video posted by LSG’s official X handle, Pooran can be heard inquiring about his well-being.
