Rishabh Pant goes for six Vs Bishnoi (X.com)
Rishabh Pant's dream run in IPL 2024 continued on Sunday when he came at No. 4 for Delhi Capitals during their face-off against Lucknow Super Giants at Ekana Cricket Stadium. The 26-year-old led by example, slamming a six off Ravi Bishnoi to break the shackles before the carnage began.
After losing David Warner and Prithvi Shaw, Pant and Jake Fraser-McGurk steadied the ship after coming to chase 168 in Lucknow. Then Pant went downtown against Bishnoi, smashing a boundary after 29 balls. More significantly, the way he punished the ace spinner made a lot of headlines, indicating that he is well and truly back.
Bishnoi bowled an 89.4 kph tossed-up delivery to Pant, and the DC skipper danced down the track to smash it handsomely over the bowler’s head. The ball went straight into the sightscreen, making it half-a-dozen more runs on the board.
