Hey cricket fans! What a season of IPL 2025 we're having, right? Especially for Lucknow Super Giants! They've been on fire, and a big reason why is Aiden Markram, who's found his form after a slightly shaky start. Let's dive into how he's doing it, along with some explosive insights on Nicholas Pooran's batting brilliance!

Markram's Mantra: Stick to Your Strengths!

So, what's Markram's secret? He's realized that trying to be someone he's not won't work. While everyone loves watching Pooran and Mitchell Marsh smash sixes, Markram has stuck to his own game plan.

• He acknowledged a slow start but found rhythm.
• Instead of chasing the 'big-hitting' style of Pooran and Marsh, he focused on his strengths.
• This approach has powered LSG to three wins in a row. He knew that his game style got him the selection and he should stick to it.

Adapting to the Game

Markram also spoke about the challenges of constantly playing in different conditions and the need to stay true to your game, “Schedules are packed obviously, so you're sort of just hopping around, playing lots of cricket and conditions always changing and things like that. So, there's lots to take in, but ultimately you need to stick true to your game,”.

Pooran's Power: The Game-Changer

We can't talk about LSG without mentioning Nicholas Pooran! This guy is in insane form! He's currently topping the run charts, and his approach is simple: be brave and take your chances.

• Pooran's response to Sai Kishore was incredible, taking on the challenge and hitting three sixes in four balls.
• He emphasized the need to 'target your goal' while batting at No. 3.
• Pooran's form has been a massive boost, adding so much firepower to the LSG batting lineup.

Marsh's Absence and Pant's Role

Mitchell Marsh missed the game due to his daughter's health, and Rishabh Pant stepped up to open. The partnership between Markram and Pant was crucial.

• The 65-run stand in 6.2 overs showed great team spirit.
• Pooran praised Markram's form, highlighting how he is making the most of it.

What's Next for LSG?

LSG are looking like a team to watch out for this IPL season. With Markram finding form and Pooran firing on all cylinders, they're definitely contenders. Keep an eye on them, folks – this is Indian cricket at its best!
