Really special innings from Rishabh. Those were not bad balls from Bhuvi in the last over barring the last full toss, but Rishabh Pant is really special and I hope he is nurtured well. #DDvSRH

One handed sixes and hitting even good balls out of the park. This was as good an innings you will ever see in a T-20 match against the best bowling line up in the IPL, absolutely clean striking. Take a bow, Rishabh Pant #DDvSRH

30 runs off 26 balls. Scored 38 in the next 18 balls. Rishabh Pant has showed that patience has a place in T20 too. Just like Mutual Funds…have patience. @MFSahiHai #FundaSahiHai #DDvSRH #IPL

MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson… too many wicketkeepers in the contention for a place in India’s T20 team. Have never seen so many quality contenders in India for a keeper’s spot. Who would you pick, guys? #DDvSRH #IPL2018
— Navneet Mundhra (@navneet_mundhra) May 10, 2018
The best bowling attack PANT-Ing for breath. This is a bloody special knock from Rishabh Pant. Been the season of young Indians and this effort is right up there! #VIVOIPL #DDvSRH

Rishabh Pant is the reason why MS Dhoni is playing with the 200+ strike rate in this IPL.#DDvSRH

Rishabh Pant belonging to the bottom most team on the points table rips apart the most celebrated bowling attack of this IPL.
