Nicholas Pooran, a wicketkeeper-batsman and former captain for the West Indies, received a lot of showers. He attracted interest from numerous teams. In the end, the Lucknow Super Giants triumphed and paid Rs 16 crore to acquire Pooran. Along with Lucknow, Pooran was also up for bid by the Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals, and Chennai Super Kings. Pooran was freed this time after being purchased by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 10.75 crore in the super auction last year.

In the IPL, Pooran has competed in 47 games. He’s scored 912 runs in 47 games. He had a strike rate of 151.24 during this. In addition to this, his record as a wicketkeeper includes 20 wickets.

With the aid of just two half-centuries, he amassed 306 runs in 14 games. In addition, he scored runs in 12 games during the IPL 2021 season, averaging a very dismal 7.72. As a result of the performance, his team, Hyderabad, discharged Pooran.

The first of England’s three-match Test series with Pakistan ended with an English victory. One of his young batsmen made a significant contribution to England’s victory. Harry scored 300 runs in three games in a row. Harry has the capacity to develop into a solid batsman in all three formats, not just in Test matches. He will now display his talents in the next Indian Premier League (IPL) season. He’s joined by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2023 auction. Hyderabad has joined Harry for 13.25 crores; his base price was Rs. 50 lakh.

In the auction, Harry received bids from three franchises, but the Hyderabad squad won. The batting order of this team will improve with Harry’s arrival. He will make the team’s middle order stronger. Harry was initially up for bid by Bangalore and Rajasthan, but later Sunrisers joined in and took the match. Nobody had anticipated Brook to receive such a windfall of cash, but the right-handed batsman was successful in lining his own pockets.
