Pooran is serious talent but has not been shining bright: Ashwin

Ahead of IPL 2026, ex-India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin said LSG batter Nicholas Pooran is a serious talent, but he has not been shining bright. "I want to see what avatar of Pooran comes to the IPL," he added. Ashwin stated that Pooran looks a little bit burnt out. Notably, Pooran smashed 524 runs in 14 matches in IPL 2025 season.
