Pant’s Powerhouse Performance

Rishabh Pant went berserk, scoring a mind-blowing 88 runs in just 43 balls. That’s an average of over 2 runs per ball. His innings was a masterclass in clean hitting, including 5 boundaries and a whopping 8 sixes. The strike rate? An unbelievable 204.65, meaning he scored runs at a very fast pace – almost twice as many as the bowler delivered.

Mohit Sharma Feels the Pant Power

One bowler who felt the full force of Pant’s fury was Gujarat Titans pacer Mohit Sharma. Pant targeted Sharma specifically, scoring a jaw-dropping 62 runs off him in just 18 deliveries. That’s an average of over 3 runs per ball against a fast bowler. The carnage included 3 boundaries and a staggering 7 sixes. Just imagine the crowd going wild with every big shot.

The Over That Changed Everything

The last over of the Delhi Capitals innings was truly a turning point. Pant, facing Mohit Sharma once again, went into overdrive. He scored a mind-boggling 30 runs off just 5 deliveries. The breakdown? 2 runs, a wide ball (which doesn’t count against the batsman), a huge six, a four, another six, and yet another six. This final over blitz took Pant from a very good score of 58 runs to a match-winning 88 not out.

Breaking Records and Leading the Way:

With this incredible performance, Pant has set a new record in T20 cricket. He surpassed the previous record held by Pakistan batsman Usman Khan, who smashed 54 runs off just 12 balls against Qais Ahmed earlier this year in PSL.

The left-hand batter’s contribution is crucial for the Delhi Capitals’ success this season. He’s currently the third-highest run scorer in the IPL with a total of 342 runs in just 9 games. With an impressive average of nearly 49 and a strike rate of over 161, he’s been scoring runs consistently and quickly.

Overall, Rishabh Pant’s record-breaking knock against the Gujarat Titans showcased his incredible batting skills and aggressive mindset. His power-hitting and ability to score quickly under pressure are valuable assets for the Delhi Capitals, and cricket fans everywhere are excited to see what he does next.
