After Pooran’s match-winning innings for LSG against SRH in IPL 2025, Harbhajan Singh on Best T20 Player sparked discussion with his remarks. Chasing a target of 191, Pooran smashed 70 runs off just 26 balls, securing a thrilling 2-run victory for LSG. His high-pressure batting once again highlighted why Harbhajan Singh on Best T20 Player considers him one of the most dangerous hitters in the format.
Harbhajan took to the social media platform X (previously Twitter) and wrote, “At present, Nicholas Pooran is the best player containing the T20 format. Period!” Such a definite statement again puts Purean into the context of making a lot out of his name as a game-changer in T20 cricket. Pooran has been one of the most settled T20 League performers around the world. He is famous for taking on the bowlers with explosive shots and facing any sort of bowling deregulation. Be it IPL Caribbean Premier League (CPL) or international matches, he has produced a game-winning performance after the performance.
What makes him special is that he keeps his cool when games get tough and finishes them off with his big hitting. An aggressive approach, combined with clean strike play, would make any bowler quail before him, especially in the final overs, as his perfect wicket-keeping also adds to his value for any team.
On the contrary, while many fans accede to Harbhajan’s judgment, another section of fans claims that players like Suryakumar Yadav, Heinrich Klaasen, and Travis Head deserve a place on that list. Yet again, it is Pooran’s quality that takes the cake: the fact that he can win pressure situations and continues to win matches regularly in T20 international matches is what sets him above the rest.
Now, the T20 cabal, while evolving, makes natural debates keep spiraling about who the best player is. But with Harbhajan Singh adding to the tall claims, then Nicholas Pooran is bestowed with yet another big crowning glory. All fans would be waiting to see if the magician continues to cast a spell and make his name more with the greatest T20 players of the world.
