During IPL 2023, West Indies star Nicholas Pooran loved the famous Dal Bati Churma in Rajasthan and shared a video about it on his Instagram. The likes of Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi followed him to the restaurant and their hilarious conversation while eating the food went viral on social media.
When KL Rahul played as Impact Sub against Punjab, Pooran was named as the skipper. Under his leadership, LSG registered their first win of the season as the hosts beat Punjab by 21 runs. First, Quinton de Kock gave the team a bright start as the South African international scored 54 runs from 38 deliveries. After getting out, Pooran and Krunal Pandya took the innings with 42 and 43* runs respectively.
Thanks to some brilliant batting, LSG scored 199 runs in the first innings.On the chasing side, Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow gave PBKS a good start but nobody could capitalize. The wickets fell like a house of cards in the middle overs as the visitors eventually lost control of the match.
A 102-run opening partnership was the highlight of their second innings, but the team would be disappointed by the poor batting of the middle-order batsmen.A year later, Pooran shared how fans around the world started calling him by the name of the dish. The 28-year-old revealed that when fans called out to him and he ignored them, they started calling him Dal Bhat, after which he burst out laughing. The batsman shared the incident after the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings at the Ekana Stadium..
