Nicholas Pooran Bizarre Dismissal: In the IPL 2026 match, a wicket was seen which surprised everyone. Former West Indies batsman Nicholas Pooran was out in a very strange manner, where he himself did not understand where the ball went. In this confusion, he left the crease and the wicketkeeper did not waste the opportunity. This incident shocked even the players and commentators present on the field.

In the match played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday (April 5), Nicholas Pooran’s wicket was such that everyone was surprised to see it. This dangerous batsman of Lucknow Super Giants had to return to the pavilion in a very strange and unique way.

This entire incident happened on the first ball of the 14th over of the second innings, when Shivang Kumar was bowling for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Puran tried to play a sweep shot on the leg side ball, but the timing was not quite right and the ball took the lower edge of the bat and went towards the wicketkeeper.

After the ball went behind the stumps, Puran could not see it and had no idea where the ball had gone. Due to this misunderstanding, he left the crease to score runs. Here wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan was completely alert. He quickly took the ball in his gloves and blew away the stumps without any delay. By the time Puran understood the truth, it was too late and he was far out of the crease. In this way he was out after scoring only 1 run in 4 balls. After this incident, all the players and commentators present on the field were surprised.
