Nicholas Pooran: West Indies batsman Nicholas Pooran has been in great form this year. With his lethal batting, he makes the bowlers tremble. The ability to hit the first ball itself makes it different from other batters. This is the reason why he has hit more sixes than fours in most of his innings. In the year 2024, Pooran has hit so many sixes that he has broken Chris Gayle's 9-year-old world record. There are still four months left for 2024 to end. But before that, the flood has set a world record for hitting the most sixes in T20 in a calendar year.
Pooran is currently playing in the Caribbean Premier League. Pooran is part of the Trinbago Knight Riders team in this league. In his first match against St Kitts Patriots and Nevis, he batted brilliantly and played a brilliant innings of 97 runs. In this innings, he hit 7 fours and 9 sixes. With these 9 sixes, Nicholas Pooran has made a record of 139 sixes in T20 cricket this year. Earlier this record was in the name of Chris Gayle, known as the 'Universe Boss', who hit 135 sixes in the T20 cricket format in the year 2015.
Pooran has the entire season of the CPL. He will also play several other league matches in the coming months. If he does not get injured this year, he has the ability to touch the figure of 200 sixes in a calendar year.
