Rishabh Pant astonished everyone by bowling the final over in the Delhi Premier League match between Purani Dilli 6 and South Delhi Superstarz.
Rishabh Pant, the wicketkeeper batsman for the Indian cricket team, astonished everyone on Saturday by bowling the final over of the Delhi Premier League match between Purani Dilli 6 and South Delhi Superstarz. Pant had never bowled in an international match before, but he chose to try his hand at spin bowling with the Superstarz needing only one run to win. The video of Pant bowling quickly went popular on social media, with many fans relating it to Gautam Gambhir’s recent appointment as India’s head coach. Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, and Rohit Sharma have all bowled in the series against Sri Lanka since Gambhir took over.
South Delhi Superstarz defeated Purani Dilli 6 by three wickets in the opening match of the inaugural Delhi Premier League T20 at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, thanks to remarkable fifties from captain Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya.
Ray, who scored 41 off 26 balls, was caught and bowled by Shivam Sharma in the seventh over, while Arya hit 50 off 27 balls in the 12th. In the same over, captain Ayush Badoni, who had started conservatively, hit four consecutive sixes off Ankit Bhadana, bringing the team’s total to 140/1.
Arpit Rana caught Arya off Sharma in the next over after 57 runs from 30 balls, including three fours and four sixes. Dhruv Singh (1 off 2) was subsequently dismissed cheaply by Prince Yadav, while Badoni hit his half-century off 25 balls in the 14th over, reducing the equation to 38 runs needed from 36 balls.Ray, who scored 41 off 26 balls, was caught and bowled by Shivam Sharma in the seventh over, while Arya hit 50 off 27 balls in the 12th.

However, the situation turned abruptly when Purani Dilli 6 grabbed four wickets in rapid succession. Badoni (57 off 29) and Tejasvi (0 off 1) were out in the 15th over, Kunwar Bidhuri (5 off 7) in the 17th over, and Sumit Mathur (9 off 10) in the 18th over, leaving South Delhi needing 13 runs from the last two overs.
Vision Panchal and Digvesh Rathi then demonstrated tenacity by chasing down the target with five balls remaining.
