Delhi Capitals’ batsman Rishabh Pant is standing on the doors of another personal milestone in the Indian Premier League. Pant requires another 74 runs to leapfrog David Warner tally of runs for the Delhi Capitals. After scoring these 74 runs, Pant will become the second highest run-getter for the Delhi franchise.
Former Delhi Capitals captain Virender Sehwag is the leading run-scorer for the franchise as he had amassed 2175 runs in his IPL career. Consequently, Rishabh Pant will have his chance when he will take the field against Kings XI Punjab in the 13th match of the season.
Pant has been in fine form.
Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant has been in fine form in the recent past. The pugnacious southpaw batsman had scored 78 off just 27 balls against Mumbai Indians in the first match of the Delhi side.
Pant has scored 114 runs in the three matches of the season thus far. The southpaw batsman has scored his runs with an average of 57 with a staggering strike rate of 207.27.
On the other hand, David Warner has returned back to the IPL in style. The left-hander is currently the Orange Cap holder with 254 runs at a stunning average of 127 and strike rate of 175. Thus, Warner has made a roaring comeback into the cash-rich tournament.
Rishabh Pant was in red hot form in the previous season of the league. The Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batsman had amassed 684 runs and he was the second highest run-getter of the season. Consequently, the Delhi lad will like to repeat the same performance in this season.
On the other hand, Rishabh Pant is known for his pyrotechnics. He had scored 350 runs on the tour of Australia in the four-match Test series. Pant was the second highest run scorer in the Test series. However, he is yet to bag his white ball chances for the India National Cricket Team.
