Defending Champions Deccan Gladiators are gearing up for another title up grab, as there are less than two months left for the sixth edition of Abu DhabiT10 to be played at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi. Eight teams will fight for glory in the world’s only 10-over cricket tournament sanctioned by the International Cricket Council and licensed by the Emirates Cricket Board for ten years.
West-Indian ODI and T20I Captain Nicholas Pooran are the new Icon Player for defending champions Deccan Gladiators, the team announced on Saturday. The star all-rounder joins the ranks of his West Indian teammates Andre Russell and Odean Smith for Season 6 to be held from November 23, 2022, to December 4, 2022.
Nicholas Pooran comes with extensive experience as a captain and more importantly an attacking all-rounder across formats. Pooran has been a regular in the IPL since 2019 and his last edition’s campaign for Sunrisers Hyderabad caught everyone’s attention.
Apart from the IPL, Pooran has been a star performer across the PSL, the Bangladesh Premier League, and the Caribbean Premier League.
When it comes to Abu Dhabi T10, Pooran has a renowned track record as he led the Northern Warriors side to their second title in 2020. His expertise as a team leader and his mastery behind the stumps makes him a favorite across formats.
With a current strike rate of 130.77 in T20I, Pooran is adjudged as one of the most aggressive and power-hitting batsmen of current times. His aggression paired with his leadership skills will surely back the Deccan Gladiators as they prepare another power-packed team for the coming season.
They have already retained Andre Russell, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Zahoor Khan, Odean Smith, and David Wiese for this season. The draft for the 10 over-a-side format which is over a 90-minute duration will be held on September 26, 2022.
