To be only 20 years old and rank fourth in the list of highest scorers in a tournament as star-studded as the IPL is indeed an achievement. That is exactly the record Rishabh Pant holds to his name owing to his dazzling display of batting against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in May 2018.

Coming in fourth only to the likes of Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum and AB de Villiers, Pant scored an unbeaten knock of 128 runs off just 63 balls in IPL 2018, drawing accolades from fans and critics alike. This is also the highest individual score by an Indian cricketer in a Twenty20 match, as it surpassed the previous record held by Murali Vijay.
