Rishabh Pant, Delhi Daredevils’ young wicketkeeper-batsman is undoubtedly one of the most exciting young cricketers in the world, played one of the most memorable innings in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). With the recent success he bagged in the IPL, Pant became the second youngest player to score an IPL hundred and youngest to score 1000 runs in IPL history.

It is especially the Thursday night that made Pant an overnight hero. Rishabh Pant demolished Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowling attack and scored an unbeaten 128. SRH’s bowling attack is, arguably, the best in IPL 2018 and young Pant did not show any respect whatsoever.

This young Indian cricketer has smashed Rashid Khan for 27 off the 13 balls he faced from the leg-spinner and 43 off 11 balls off Bhuvneshwar Kumar at a strike rate of 390.90. He took on two of the best bowlers in the tournament and smashed them all around the park once and again for all.

Out of the 128 runs he bagged in 63 balls, he hit 15 fours and 7 gigantic sixes. It was an innings that will never be forgotten by fans, specially Delhi Daredevils fans. Rishabh Pant was the lone warrior for Delhi and he proved to the world that he can play these kinds of innings consistently. In IPL 2018, he has been one of the best batters and proudly holds ‘Orange Cap’ at the moment.

Now post the innings, KL Rahul, who has himself been in outstanding form in the league has posted a beautiful message for Rishabh Pant on Twitter
