IPL 2026: 'Small Ground In Bengaluru Suits His Game', McClenaghan Wants Pooran To Make A Statement Against RCB
Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand pacer Mitchell McClenaghan believes Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) big-hitting batter Nicholas Pooran is due for a big performance and backed the left-hander to make a statement in the upcoming IPL 2026 clash against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Pooran has a highest score of 19 in the ongoing IPL season, where LSG are at seventh place in the points table. But the batting-friendly conditions at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium will provide a golden opportunity for him to regain form. “LSG has a well-balanced batting unit. Their openers, middle order, and lower middle order are all contributing. But they are up against the defending champions, who are full of confidence after their win over MI.
“LSG needs Mitchell Marsh to fire, because his power-hitting at the top can take the game away from RCB early on. Nicholas Pooran has also had a poor start to the season and the small ground in Bangalore should actually suit Pooran’s game. He is the key batter. I want to see him bounce back and make a statement,” said McClenaghan on Star Sports.
