Our 2024 ILT20 trophy-lifting captain! Aye aye! 

A clean middle-order striker, Nicholas Pooran is one of the world’s most feared batters going around. With the ability to take the bowling on from ball one, no boundary is big enough for our dynamite.

Being a left-hander and a wicket-keeper who can also double up as a superb outfielder, he brings a unique proposition to the table, and with his leadership abilities too, offers a delicious combo. 

A child prodigy marked out for bigger things in his teenage years, he created history by becoming the youngest player to be signed up in the Caribbean Premier League back in 2013, followed by an extremely impressive stint in the under-19 World Cup. A horrific accident threatened nearly derailed all of this, but with sheer determination and the will to come back stronger on the field, he's grown into one of the most sought-after players in the world at the moment. 

Fresh from carrying MI Emirates to the title and MI New York to the inaugural MLC title, our skip is all set to repeat his heroics in the desert.
