Nicholas Pooran is one of the most aggressive batsmen in the world. He is known for hitting long sixes, but he had a terrible accident a few years ago. His comeback to cricket has also been inspiring.
Nicholas Pooran made his debut for West Indies at the age of just 21. But who knew that the career of a young and talented cricketer was going to come to an end due to a fatal accident.
In fact, in January 2015, the then 19-year-old Puran was seriously injured in a car accident in Trinidad and Tobago. The injury was so serious that his left ankle and knee needed surgery.
Puran’s leg was not able to straighten and he had to take the help of a wheelchair. To recover from this fatal injury, he had to undergo 2 surgeries within 6 months. He made his international debut for West Indies the very next year after the injury.
That injury of Nicholas Pooran is in the news because Adam Gilchrist recently called Rishabh Pant’s return the ‘greatest comeback’. Pant was also seriously injured in a car accident in December 2022.
Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant have actually gone through the same phase, but the persistence to play cricket brought them back to the field. Now both these cricketers have become one of the biggest forces in their respective countries.
