Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) star Nicholas Pooran took part in an interesting 'this or that' challenge involving some of the most celebrated all-format cricketers, including himself. The Trinidadian let out a cheeky smile when it came to picking between him and Virat Kohli before choosing the latter.Kohli, 37, has established himself as one of the best all-format batters of the generation and has been the most consistent of the lot. The former India captain now stands third in the list of international runs, aggregating 27673 runs in 553 games with 82 hundreds. The Delhi-born cricketer is the second-highest run-getter in ODIs and has the most hundreds in the format with 51.While speaking to CricTracker, Pooran stuck to Australian opener Travis Head when pitted against the likes of Steve Smith, Joe Root, Shai Hope, Phil Salt and Kane Williamson. Although Pooran chose himself over Rohit Sharma, he couldn't resist when it came to Kohli.

The former West Indies captain was the second-highest run-getter for the Super Giants in 2025, mustering 524 runs in 14 matches at 43.66 alongside a jaw-dropping strike rate of 196.25. He was retained by the franchise for ₹21 crore.Nevertheless, LSG couldn't qualify for the playoffs and finished seventh in the points table with only six victories under their belt. Although skipper Rishabh Pant scored a hundred in their final game of the tournament, the keeper-batter couldn't quite live up to the expectations of his ₹27 crore price tag.Pant could still be retained as skipper for IPL 2026.
