New DelhiTere Sang Yaara Khush Rang Bahara Tu Raat Deewani Main Jard Sitara although this song was filmed from the movie Rustom starring Akshay Kumar and Ileana D’Cruz but these days someone else is making this song popular and that is West Indies batsman Nicholas Pooran . . His joy knew no bounds when Lucknow Super Giants signed him for Rs 21 crore. Puran’s joy increased when the team franchise offered to make him captain.
Nicholas Puran, who came to India to participate in a program after his engagement, not only thanked his franchise in an interview but also expressed his happiness by singing a Bollywood song. Atif Aslam, who is also Puran’s favorite, sang his song Tere Sang Yaara Khush Rang Bahara Tu Raat Deewani Main Zard Sitara. Puran also praised Indian culture and food in his interview. He also mentioned traditional dishes like Dal Makkhani and Dal Baati. Puran said he was fully prepared for the responsibility of captaincy and knew how to bring the team together.
Don’t be surprised if Nicholas Puran becomes the captain of Lucknow Super Giants as team owner Shashwat Goenka praised Puran and said that any batsman who consistently scores at a strike rate of 178.21 could be dismissed. The team owner also praised Puran’s cricketing brain and said that Puran knows how to change the game strategy according to the needs of the team and that is why he was signed for such a huge amount.
In 2024, Niklas Puran scored 499 runs for Lucknow at an average of 62.37. The team didn’t perform particularly well last season but Puran won everyone’s hearts with his approach. This is why the franchise decided to keep Puran. Last season, Puran, who hit 36 sixes and 35 fours, was paid Rs 13 crore, which has now increased to Rs 21 crore. Puran, who made his IPL debut in 2019, has scored 1769 runs in a total of 76 matches. That too with a hit rate of 162.29. His best season was 2024, which is why Puran was taken over by Lucknow.
