Earlier #IPL teams would look for overseas players for power-hitters…that’s no longer the case. Some of the young Indian batsmen are as good as they get. #DDvRR

You see a little bit of Yuvi and a little bit of Raina in him. One of the cleanest hitters of the cricket ball. Hits sixes for fun. Rishabh Pant. #DDvRR #IPL

High back lift. Free flowing downswing. No inhibitions in going aerial. Sky is the limit for Prithvi in shorter formats ??? #DDvRR #IPL

The DJ here in Delhi is playing Hardcore Punjabi songs between overs. I am sure Ben Stokes feels like having a few drinks and smashing him. #DDvRR pic.twitter.com/OQMGLWaSs2
