Rishabh Pant debuted for the Delhi Daredevils franchise in 2016. His IPL career got off to a shaky start. His first two seasons were pretty ordinary. But his breakout season came in 2018 when he scored a mind boggling 684 runs in 14 matches with an average of 52.61 and a strike-rate of 173.60. The left-hander finished the tournament as the second highest run-scorer behind only Kane Williamson.
Pant’s eye-catching stroke-play in the IPL earned him a national call-up for India’s tour of England in 2018. Making his Test debut at Trent Bridge, he became the first Indian batsman to get off the mark with a six. At the Oval, he created history by becoming the first Indian wicket-keeper to score a Test century in England.

About the author
Sunil Joseph
Sunil is a pro wrestling journalist, covering AEW and WWE news stories at Sportskeeda. He holds an MBA degree in Marketing, and has nearly 7 years of experience. A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
Always focused on making his work accurate and reliable, Sunil thoroughly checks his facts before writing his articles. When not writing for pro wrestling, he spends his time watching cricket.
