Nicholas Pooran Record: At present, Nicholas Pooran, one of the most explosive batsmen in the world, is in tremendous form. He is far away from international cricket, but currently he is playing in the Caribbean Premier League i.e. CPL. Puran is scoring runs in almost every innings of his. Meanwhile, now he is about to reach a point where no batsman in the world has been able to reach till now. It is possible that this feat can be achieved in the very next match of CPL.
Puran is playing for Trinbago Knight Riders in CPL
The Caribbean Premier League is currently going on in the West Indies. In this, Nicholas Pooran is playing for Trinbago Knight Riders. He has the most runs in his name in T20 this year. That means he is already occupying the number one position. But are a little short of making the all-time record. Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan had made the record of scoring the most T20 runs in a year in the year 2021. He played 48 matches and scored 2036 runs that year. But now this record will be broken. Puran has scored 2032 runs by playing 65 matches so far this year i.e. 2024. That means he is just 5 runs away from leaving Mohammad Rizwan behind.
Nicholas Puran will enter the field on 27th September
The next match of Puran’s team Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League is on September 27. His team will face Barbados Royals. Obviously, on this day Puran will again enter the field to bat. If he adds five more runs to his account in that match, he will reach the first position in the list of batsmen who have scored the most T20 runs in a year. Let us tell you that in T20, runs for other leagues other than T20 International are also added. Therefore, even though Puran is away from international cricket, he is still playing T20 cricket and is continuously moving towards new records.
Alex Hales and Jos Buttler also included in the list
So we have already told you that the batsman who has scored the most T20 runs in a year is Mohammad Rizwan and after him is Puran. But after this, also know about who is who. At number three is Alex Hales of England, who scored 1946 runs by playing 61 T20 matches in the year 2022. That means in this case there are only two batsmen who have scored more than two thousand runs. Jos Buttler of England had scored 1833 runs in T20 cricket in the year 2023. But now both of them have been left far behind and Nicholas Puran has taken his steps towards the number one position.
