West Indies quickly regained control of the match when Nicholas Pooran destroyed the Indian bowlers. Six fours and four sixes were included in the southpaw’s 67 runs off 40 balls. Rovman Powell (21) and Shimron Hetmyer (22) offered some assistance, but it wasn’t enough.
Nicholas Pooran hits blazing fifty, becomes highest T20I run-scorer vs India
In the second game of the 5-T20I series in Guyana, Nicholas Pooran scoring a scorching half-century surpassed Aaron Finch’s previous mark as the top T20I run-scorer against India. With a spectacular knock that had the crowd in awe, Pooran’s extraordinary accomplishment served as proof of his unmatched skill on the field.
Against India in 18 games, the Trinidadian cricketer surpassed Australian player Aaron Finch’s record of 500 T20I runs. Pooran’s remarkable batting skills were on display as he accomplished this milestone in just 17 games. Pooran’s blistering fifty in the second Twenty20 international match against India helped the West Indies reinvigorate their batting as they chased a 153-run goal in Guyana. Hardik Pandya struck out Jonathan Charles and Brandon King in the same over before Pooran entered the game.

Pooran has rewritten the story, breaking free from convention and making an impact that is felt well beyond the confines of the cricket field.
