Let\u2019s break down this individual battle<\/strong> and how Pooran performs at Eden Gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicholas Pooran vs Sunil Narine \u2013 Head-to-Head in IPL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite Pooran\u2019s aggressive reputation, he has struggled big time<\/strong> against Sunil Narine over the years in the IPL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Take:<\/strong>
Narine has completely kept Pooran in check. Not a single boundary in 33 balls shows the domination. His spin, especially in Eden\u2019s conditions, is a serious threat to Pooran\u2019s aggressive approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicholas Pooran at Eden Gardens \u2013 IPL Record<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pooran has played 2 matches<\/strong> at Eden Gardens so far, and his numbers here are promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Insight:<\/strong>
Despite Narine troubling him, Eden Gardens suits Pooran\u2019s batting style<\/strong>. The short boundaries and fast outfield<\/strong> help him play attacking cricket. If he survives the Narine spell, expect fireworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Watch Out For<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Pooran vs Narine<\/strong> will be one of the biggest matchups<\/strong> today.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pooran\u2019s early overs will be key\u2014Narine is expected to bowl inside the powerplay or soon after.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If Pooran can safely navigate Narine, Eden\u2019s conditions can help him accelerate quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Nicholas Pooran is the Orange Cap holder<\/strong> this season and one of LSG\u2019s biggest hopes. While Sunil Narine has the edge over him historically, Pooran’s strong numbers at Eden Gardens suggest he can turn the tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A thrilling battle awaits. And if Pooran breaks Narine\u2019s hold today, LSG fans could be in for a big knock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
