Rishabh Pant played a sparkling knock of 27 runs off 14 balls during his brief stay in the middle.
Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant hasn’t had a extraordinary Indian Premier League (IPL) season. He was criticised a part for not playing his normal game against Lucknow Super Giants which led to DC posting a below-par add up to and in the long run losing the game by six wickets. Possibly in an attempt to reply to all the feedback, Pant came out all guns blazing with the bat within the game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday.
One of those fours came off a reverse sweep off Varun Chakaravarthy. The southpaw timed the ball extremely well as the ball raced away to the boundary. However, Pant lost his balance after playing the shot and also lost the grip of his bat which flew close to his stumps to land behind the wicket-keeper. Those were comical scenes in the middle as Rishabh Pant was lucky that the bat didn’t hit his stumps to get out hit-wicket.
