New Delhi. Indian Premier League 2024 has brought great news for the Indian cricket team.

Let us tell you that Mitchell Marsh, Abhishek Porel and Akshar Patel of Delhi Capitals could not even open their account against KKR. Rasikh Salam and Ishant Sharma scored one run each and Enrique Norcia scored 4 runs. 10 runs came from the bat of Prithvi Shaw and 7 runs came from the bat of Sumit Kumar. In this way, Pant scored more runs in one over than these 8 players scored in the entire match.
Rishabh Pant’s form would have given sleepless nights to India’s other wicketkeeper batsmen. Wicketkeepers like KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Jitesh Sharma, Dhruv Jurel are now lagging behind Rishabh Pant in the race for the T20 World Cup team.
