Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant took Wankhede by storm as he played a blitzkrieg knock and in the process took Delhi to 213 for 6 at the end of their 20 overs in their campaign opener against Mumbai Indians. In reply, Mumbai fell short by 37 runs as the hosts again lost their season opener since 2013.

Shikhar Dhawan scored 43 and gave Delhi a good start but Pant completely stole the show. Pant sent the ball to all parts of the ground as he took a special liking to premier Mumbai pacer Jasprit Bumrah. The right-arm pacer went for 40 off his four overs and had no answers to Pant’s fireworks.

It looked like Pant started off from where he left last season. Pant received support from Colin Ingram (47) from the other end as Delhi completely dominated proceedings in the first innings.
