IPL 2024: 'Not Many In The World Who Can Do What Rishabh Pant Did', Says CSK Coach Fleming
Before the 19th over, Pathirana enthralled the Visakhapatnam crowd by taking out Mitchell Marsh and Tristan Stubbs with perfect yorkers. But in that over, Pathirana pitched his yorkers too full and wide, resulting in Pant capitalising on them to hit a six and two fours to make a 31-ball fifty, before falling to the pacer, as DC reached a competitive 191/5.
Pant’s blitzkrieg after promoting himself to number three against Pathirana, apart from a trademark one-handed six against Mustafizur Rahman, proved to be a key differentiator in DC winning by 20 runs to get off the mark in the points table. "It was excellent batting. Pathirana had come off an excellent over in the over before, so quite rightly so he was lining up the wickets. Not many in the world who can do what Rishabh Pant did."
