IPL 11: Incredible Rishabh Pant wreaks havoc, DD posts 174

Bengaluru: Incredible Rishabh Pant turned Indian Premier League into Incredible Premier League when he, almost single-handedly, carried Delhi Daredevils to post 174/5 against hosts Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Saturday.

Pant's breezy 85-run knock came in just 48 balls and was studded with six fours and seven out-of-the-park shots.

He was assisted well by Shreyas Iyer (52). The right-handed batsman took just 31 delivers for his four-fours and three-sixes laced inning.

After being put to bat, DD got a pedestrian start with Jason Roy and captain Gautam Gambhir departing early after consuming plenty of deliveries.

Then, together with Iyer, Pant shared 75-run stand. After the dismissal of Iyer, Pant did not stop his automobile and continued with his insane hitting. He, later, shared 65-run partnership with R Tewatia.

For RCB, Yuzvendra Chahal claimed two wickets. Umesh Yadav, Washington Sundar and Corey Anderson picked one-wicket each.
