Nicholas Pooran, a left-handed batsman, has achieved great success in the Indian Premier League (IPL), a feat that has become customary among West Indian players. Pooran has also competed in other tournaments, such as the Big Bash in Australia and the Abu Dhabi T10.

Recently, Pooran resigned as white-ball captain of the West Indies team after their failure to perform in the T20 World Cup. Last month, he was also let go by IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad. Pooran was released in preparation for the IPL 2023 auction. During the last season, he represented SRH, appearing in 14 games and making a total of 306 runs with a respectable average of 26.06. His strike rate was an impressive 144+, and he was able to hit two half-centuries.
