Steyn minced no words as he first commented on LSG batter Nicholas Pooran's horrible form in IPL 2026 on Twitter and later called the Lucknow Super Giants management's decision-making criminal.
In the Super Over, LSG sent an infamously out-of-form Nicholas Pooran to bat alongside Aiden Markram. For KKR, Sunil Narine delivered the over and dismissed both batters for a golden duck.
Couldn’t hit water if he fell out a boat. Tough times
— Dale Steyn (@DaleSteyn62) April 26, 2026"LSG's decision almost criminal" - Steyn
Speaking to host broadcaster JioHotstar after the match, Steyn questioned the LSG think-tank's decision to send Nicholas Pooran out to bat in the Super over, given his very poor form.
Incidentally, Pooran has been a part of a T20 match that has gone to a Super Over five times. Even though he is considered to be one of the best T20 players of the last few years, Pooran has made four ducks in Super Overs, and in the other one, he was out for just one run.
"He hasn’t scored more than 30 or 40 runs this season, I don’t know the exact numbers, but to send him in first ball in a Super Over to get you runs is almost a criminal decision,” he added.
"I don't think even Pooran believes he can do it now" - Dale Steyn
Dale Steyn continued to talk about Nicholas Pooran's poor form and said that an out-of-form batter like him shouldn't be playing in a crucial stage.
“It’s unfortunate because he’s such a wonderful player. But when you’re trying to revive your season, you can’t afford blunders like that, not at this level,” he added.
The loss on Sunday was the fifth in a row for Lucknow Super Giants. With just two wins in eight matches, they are now languishing at the bottom of the points table. Another loss would all but end their season and leave them out of the playoffs for a third year in a row.
