Delhi batted first and the pair of David Warner-Prithvi Shaw scored 93 runs in 10 overs. When Rishabh Pant came to the crease, it took time for him to settle down. He scored 23 runs at a slightly slow pace but scored 28 runs in the last 9 balls of his innings with the help of sixes and fours. But as soon as his half-century was completed, Pant became the victim of Mathisha Pathirana in the same over in which he was hitting him for sixes and fours. He faced 32 balls and played a brilliant inning of 51 runs with the help of 4 fours and 3 sixes.

Did Rishabh Pant believe in himself?
Rishabh Pant hit a six with one hand off the ball of Mustafizur Rahman in the 18th over of Delhi’s innings. Fans like his way of hitting sixes with one hand and that is why Pant is famous. After the match, Pant said that he had waited for a long time to hit his trademark shot. He also said that he already believed that he would make a strong comeback and dominate the bowlers like before.
When Pant was asked if, like the rest of the cricket world, he too was waiting to see himself hit a six with one hand, he said, “One and a half years.”
They said, “I haven’t played much cricket, but I believe I can change matches. This is something I’ve built my life on. Still continuing to learn as a cricketer.”
