Aye Aye Captain, Nicky P
By MI New York Media
Our hero, our ledge, our skipper!
Nicholas Pooran – the 29-year-old pocket dynamite, aka the MINY superstar – has been named the MI New York captain ahead of the 2025 season of the Cognizant Major League Cricket.
This left-handed wicket-keeper batter is one of the world’s most feared batters going around. He hit the most sixes (170) across all T20s in 2024 and followed it up with a strong IPL 2025, breaching the 500-run mark in a season for the first time and smashing 40 sixes in the season - the most sixes by any batter in an IPL edition.
At the peak of his powers currently, he’s all set to take us to greater glories under his leadership. He was the highest run-scorer in the 2023 MLC season with 388 runs under his belt. You really don't need to look beyond his 137* at the MLC Final to know that.
Can’t wait to relive the same in 2025, Nicky!
