Lucknow Super Giants batting star Nicholas Pooran flexed his singing skills in social media following his team’s final game of IPL 2025. LSG played against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last league match of the season at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on May 27. It turned out to be a campaign that LSG would have wanted this year as they failed to qualify for the playoffs finishing at the seventh spot in the points table with six wins and eight losses. However, one of the main highlights for LSG this year was Pooran’s performance with the bat.
Nicholas Pooran finished as LSG’s second highest run getter in IPL 2025 amassing 524 runs in 14 matches at an impressive strike rate of 196.25. Following LSG’s campaign end, the West Indies cricketer shared a video on his social media where he could be seen singing a famous bollywood song “Channa Mereya.” Other LSG players like Himmat Singh and Akash Singh also joined him as the trio was seen vibing while singing the song. Pooran also left a heartfelt caption on the post which wrote "Chalta hun Lucknow, duaon mein yaad rakhna."
