NEW DELHI: Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant displayed exceptional hitting during his team’s IPL 2024 match against Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Returning to competitive cricket after a car accident in 2022, Pant took on the Gujarat Titans bowlers with flair, scoring an unbeaten 88 off just 43 balls. His innings featured five boundaries and eight massive sixes.
What stood out during his whirlwind performance was Pant’s imitation of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s iconic helicopter shot.

In the 15.1 over off pacer Mohit Sharma’s delivery, Pant stood his ground and flawlessly executed the shot over the cow corner.

Not only did the fans and players in the dugout appreciate the performance, but former India captain and Delhi Capitals’ Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly also stood up to applaud Pant’s exceptional display.
