Nicholas Pooran has many reasons to be at ease and enjoy the rest of his campaign for the new team, given his scorching form at a time when Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have extended their rise in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The cricketer's positive attitude was demonstrated by a funny video that the Lucknow franchise posted on Twitter, in which the Caribbean modern-day belter could be seen dancing to Punjabi music with his Indian teammates while working out.
Pooran was observed dancing to the beat of the well-known Punjabi song "Bolo Tara Rara" by renowned singer Daler Mehndi on the margins of his workout. Teammates Ravi Bishnoi and Krishnappa Gowtham joined him in the fun and dancing, replicating the song's famous dance move.
Here's the viral video from LSG's gym session:

Nicholas Pooran has amassed 358 runs in 14 innings in IPL 2023
In the current season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Nicholas Pooran has made an outstanding return to form for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The West Indies maverick has started IPL 2023 with a bang after facing doubts about his range and talents after a lacklustre performance last year on the international scene.
Despite taking on the demanding role of a middle-order aggressor for his new team, the 27-year-old has amassed an astounding total of 358 runs in 14 innings while maintaining an impressive strike rate of 173.79 and having scored two half-centuries.
The left-hander has already hit a record-breaking 26 sixes in the competition. Pooran, whose previous team, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), enjoyed a successful IPL 2022, has only improved his impact value and overall game after receiving a sizable bid of INR 16 crores from the Lucknow franchise before the IPL 2023.
Nicholas Pooran's form and power-hitting style make him undoubtedly the most crucial player on his team's playing sheet as Lucknow approaches the playoff stage for the season and awaits their opposition for the crucial Eliminator set for Wednesday (May 24) in the Chepauk Stadium, Chennai.
