Pooran walked into bat at No.3 after LSG lost Josh Inglis early. The West Indian has struggled for runs this season but was at his very best on Monday evening at the Wankhede.
The left-hander started his innings with three sixes in an over off Will Jacks. He then took Allah Ghazanfar in the final over of the powerplay to power LSG to their highest score in the powerplay.
