Rishabh Pant departs [iplt20]

DC's star batter, Rishabh Pant, illuminated the 16th match of IPL 2024 against Kolkata Knight Riders. Following his stellar performance against CSK in the previous encounter, Pant continued to dazzle spectators with his batting prowess at KKR's secondary home ground in Vizag.

Pant's innings was nothing short of spectacular. With the scoreboard ticking, he unleashed a barrage of boundaries, notably smashing 28 runs off Venkatesh Iyer's over. However, cricket's unpredictability soon reared its head. 

In the 13th over, facing Varun Chakravarthy, Pant's aggressive intent led to his downfall.

Watch - Rishabh Pant departs

As the ball left Chakravarthy's hand, Pant positioned himself for a trademark slog sweep. Yet, a slight miscalculation saw him lose his shape, resulting in a top edge. 

Shreyas Iyer, stationed at extra cover, exhibited athleticism as he sprinted backwards to claim the catch, ending Pant's fiery innings.

Despite the disappointment of his departure, Pant's valiant half-century earned him a resounding ovation from the crowd. His departure, however, left Delhi Capitals reeling, with five wickets down before the crucial death overs commenced.

At the time of writing, Delhi Capitals at 161 for 9 in 16 overs.
