The Gautam Gambhir era in Indian cricket seems to be in full swing, and the new Indian coach gave a clear indication in the recently concluded Sri Lanka series that he wants his batsmen to try their luck with the ball. In that series, perhaps for the first time in a long time, we saw many top-class players like T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, openers Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, Riyan Parag and ODI captain Rohit Sharma bowling at crucial moments.
In a surprising development during a recent Delhi Premier League match, wicketkeeper-batsman RISHABH PANTS He was seen rolling up his sleeves and adopting the avatar of a bowler, perhaps to send a message to the team management that he has more to offer than being a wicketkeeper-batsman. Notably, Pant was replaced by KL Rahul in the recent ODI series against Sri Lanka and only got a chance to bat in the final match of the series.
Pant’s complete game during the DPL:
Rishabh Pant led Purani Dilli-6 as they took on South Delhi Superstars in a Delhi Premier League match at the Arun Jaitley International Stadium on Saturday. During the innings, Pant (35 off 32 balls) played a crucial knock to set the tone for his team and then Lalit Yadav and Vansh Bedi played some crucial knocks to take the score to 197/3 in 20 overs.
However, South Delhi Supertarz were aggressive from the start and managed to keep the momentum in their favour throughout the match. The game was so much in Supertarz’s favour that when Rishabh Pant finally came out to bat in the last over of the match, they needed just 1 run off 6 deliveries. Pant bowled his right-handed spin ball for the first delivery and the single off that ball ensured that South Delhi finished the match in their favour.
