Rishabh Pant Ditches Golves, Bowls in Losing Cause During Delhi Premier League T20 2024 Match | WATCH
Rishabh Pant bowled the last over during the opening match of the Delhi Premier League T20 2024 between South Delhi Superstarz and Purani Dilli 6.

Rishabh Pant took everyone by surprise during the opening match of the Delhi Premier League T20 2024 between South Delhi Superstarz and Purani Dilli 6 on Saturday.

The star Indian wicketkeeper-batter took matters into his own hands as he rolled his arms over with the result of the match almost already certain. Pant stepped up to bowl the final over of the match with the batting side needing only one run to win.

Pant is known for his swasbuckling batting style and wicket-keeping skills and has not bowled for India or even in the Indian Premier League.

The match was over on the first ball from Pant itself as Delhi Superstarz defeated Purani Dilli 6.

Fans were quick to point out that since, Gautam Gambhir has taken over as head coach of the Indian men’s cricket team, batters are bowling now. Rinku Singh had rolled his arm over during India’s tour of Sri Lanka.

The inaugural edition of the Delhi Premier League T20 got underway with a glitzy opening ceremony held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium ahead of the clash. The event was a grand affair, with music sensation Badshah and Bollywood star Sonam Bajwa stealing the limelight and keeping the crowd glued to their seats. The opening gala was attended by the top management of the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), franchise team owners, players, and staff from all participating men’s and women’s teams.

The DDCA also honoured Delhi cricketers Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli for their contributions to India’s recent ICC T20 World Cup win.
