It all started with Pooran being involved in a run-out situation with Abdul Samad. Samad’s quick thinking led to the dismissal of Shardul Thakur, but the chaos didn’t end there. Pooran, who had been hoping to make a strong impact at the crease, was bowled out shortly after. His frustration reached a boiling point, and in a fit of anger, he tossed his gloves across the dressing room.

Despite a strong start to their innings, with Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram putting on a solid opening partnership of 115 runs, LSG could not capitalize on the momentum. Marsh’s 65 and Markram’s 61 were followed by Pooran’s quick-fire 45 off just 26 balls, but it wasn’t enough. LSG ended their innings with a total of 205/7, setting a challenging target for SRH.

In response, SRH chased down the total with ease, securing a 6-wicket victory over LSG, which also sealed their fate, making them the fifth team to bow out of the IPL 2025 play-off race. Pooran’s outburst highlighted the immense pressure players face in crucial matches, especially when the stakes are high.

The match marked a bitter end for LSG’s hopes, and Pooran’s anger was a reflection of the frustration shared by many of his teammates, as they missed out on a play-off spot after a promising start to the season.
