Rishabh Pant steals show
Hungry to put up a big score, Rishabh Pant unleashed his carnage against Gujarat Titans. The Delhi Capitals skipper went at hammer and tongs at the opposition. He started scoring runs at a brisk pace hitting the loose balls for boundaries for fun. He remained unbeaten on 88 from 43 balls, slamming 5 fours and 8 sixes in the process.
“During the first time out, we were discussing on what could be the ideal score. Rishabh was confident. He said 180 was the score at the time being, but claimed the score could be more. And he single-handedly batted really well to help us score 224 runs,” said Pravin Amre after the game.
“It all started with a two-week camp in Vizag. He came there and prepared himself. At that time, he was at the NCA. I remember on Day 1 of the Vizag camp, he came to the ground from the airport. It is all about his hard work which is paying now. It was a special knock for him,” Amre added.
“It was a very good game of cricket. They came very close but in this format of the game, even a 1-run win is a victory for us,” Amre concluded.
