The home side Royal Challengers Bangalore cruised to an impressive win in their first home game of the season against Delhi Daredevils.
The winner was still undecided until the first delivery of the final over of the game, but Rishabh Pant’s wicket paved way for RCB’s win. Delhi Daredevils lost the game by a margin of 15 runs, to lose their 10th game against this franchise in all.
Rishabh Pant was the standout player for Delhi, who scored a half- century but other players failed to play the role of supporting cast as wickets continued to fall regularly, which also put Pant under some pressure and finally, RCB won the game.
But Twitter was in all awe of Rishabh Pant for his brilliant efforts.
Here is what Twitteratti has to say about Rishabh Pant and the game –

Will never forget that we played Rishabh Pant only once in a three-match series and sent him at no. 6

What a difficult moment for young Rishabh Pant. Lost his father only a couple of days, back in the field asap. Good luck!

He is a complete cricketer. A dashing batsman, a good wicket-keeper and an useful part-time bowler. Kedar Jadhav Rocks. #IPL #RCBvDD

Nadeem’s economy of 3.25 is the lowest for a spinner in a 4-over spell in #IPL at Bangalore. Vettori recorded 4-0-14-1 v KXIP, 2011. #RCBvDD
