The Trinbago Knight Riders emerged victorious in a thrilling encounter against the Barbados Royals in the 20th match of the CPL 2023. The Knight Riders secured a resounding victory, defeating their opponents by a margin of 42 runs. However, it was Nicholas Pooran's fiery century that stole the show and sent fans into a frenzy on social media.

Pooran's exceptional performance with the bat left spectators astounded as he showcased his immense talent and skill. His century came off just 53 deliveries, consisting of an array of powerful shots and elegant strokes. Pooran's innings included an astonishing ten sixes, leaving the opposition bowlers helpless and demoralized.

The TKR captain, Kieron Pollard, only made two runs. However, when he was declared run out instead of Nicholas Pooran after they both ended up in the same crease, the Caribbean Premier League T20 match against the Barbados Royals took a new turn. It turned into the Nicholas Pooran show. A problematic situation for the home team served as the catalyst for a Pooran masterclass and ultimately a 42-run victory. Even with a stubborn 70 (45 balls) and seven fours and four sixes, Kyle Mayers could only push the Royals to 166 for seven on a night of excellent batting.

Nicholas Pooran to play in BPL with Babar Azam

Fans took to social media platforms to express their admiration for Pooran's outstanding display of batting prowess. Twitter was flooded with tweets praising his remarkable innings, with many hailing him as one of the best T20 batters in the world. Hashtags such as #PooranStorm and #CenturyKing started trending as fans celebrated his achievement.

Pooran was listed as platinum pick in the BBL draft and was poised to get picked by clubs owing to their skill sets of being wicketkeeper-batter. But with West Indies playing against England and Pakistan touring Australia during that period means he has withdrawn late from the BBL draft. Nicholas Pooran, who is in excellent form, has recently signed a contract in Bangladesh Premier League with Rangpur Riders. Babar Azam will also be playing in the same team in this year's Bangladesh Premier League 2023 according to reports.
