Rishabh Pant scored 97 runs against Gujarat on Thursday. Image Source: BCCI[/caption]Internet Desk: Rishabh Pant once again showed why he is being considered as the best young talent at the moment in the country. It was a sheer delight for the fans to watch the 19 year old Pant along with Sanju Samson stitch a fabulous partnership of 143 runs off just 62 balls. The two made a mockery of the daunting total of 209 runs set by Gujarat Lions set for victory. Daredevils in the end achieved the target in only 17.3 overs.
It was sheer rampage from both batsmen as they made Daredevils look like club cricket bowlers. Pant’s 43 ball 97 included six hits to the fence and nine towering sixes. He narrowly missed the three figure mark after getting out to Basil Thampi.
The twitter exploded watching the two future cricketers of the country. Leading the pack was none other than the legend Sachin Tendulkar. The master blaster wrote, “One of the best Innings I have seen in the IPL & that includes all 10 seasons. @RishabPant777."
