In what promises to be a thrilling season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2023, the Lucknow Super Giants have made a major splash with their purchase of Nicholas Pooran for a staggering INR 16 Crores. While many fans are excited to see what Pooran can bring to the table, recent reports suggest that there may be some surprises in store for the team’s batting lineup.
According to these reports, Nicholas Pooran is set to bat at number three for the Lucknow Super Giants in the upcoming season. This is a significant departure from his traditional position in the middle order, and it underscores the team’s confidence in his abilities as a top-order batter.
With KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock likely to open the innings for LSG, Pooran’s arrival at number three could add even more firepower to an already impressive batting lineup. The team also boasts a wealth of other talented batters, including Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Ayush Badoni, and Krunal Pandya, all of whom are capable of batting at various positions in the order.
