Pant Records Highest IPL Score by an Indian, Twitter Goes Nuts!
Rishabh Pant scored his maiden T20 century against Sunrisers Hyderabad in New Delhi on Thursday.
Rishabh Pant once again stepped up to the occasion, scoring his maiden century to rescue Delhi Daredevils from a dismal start and help them post a challenging 187/5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in an Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi on Thursday.
Pant became the first Indian to score a century in this season of the IPL and recorded the highest-ever score by an Indian in the IPL, going past Murali Vijay’s record of 127 runs.
Involved in two avoidable run-outs, Pant compensated the miscommunication on the field with a blistering unbeaten 63-ball 128 which contained 15 boundaries and seven sixes, to arrest a careless start from the hosts.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Rishabh Pant’s brilliant innings.
