After an unfortunate incident, Lucknow Super Giants’ star batter Nicholas Pooran made a fan’s day by giving him a signed cap. During LSG’s IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans, one of Pooran’s huge sixes hit a fan on the head at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium.
Nicholas Pooran’s Heartfelt Gesture Towards Injured Fan
The fan, named Nabeel, was quickly taken to the hospital for treatment. However, before the match against Delhi Capitals on Monday, Pooran met Nabeel and apologized for the incident.
In a video shared by LSG on X (formerly Twitter), Nabeel was seen watching the team’s practice session from the stands at Ekana Stadium when Nicholas Pooran approached him. The Caribbean star then gave Nabeel a signed cap and asked how he was feeling after the incident.
Nabeel, who had a bandage on his head and a canula on his hand, then told the cameraman, “I am feeling very good. Pooran sir invited me over here today. He came, met me, and even asked me about my health.”
He even went on to say, “Chakka aa jaye, sur phoot jaaye, koi dikkat nahi. Bas apni Lucknow Jeetti rehni chahiye.” (We should get a six, I don’t care if it hits my head again. Just our Lucknow team should keep winning.)
