#5 Rishabh Pant's baseball-style hit: One-handed six
The 42nd match of the IPL 2018 saw the rising of a star at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi when a 20-year-old Rishabh Pant absolutely demolished the strong SRH bowling line-up by registering 128* off 63 deliveries with 15 fours and 7 sixes to his name.
This knock comprised off some shots that even left some veteran commentators amused. The last over of the DD (now Delhi Capitals) inning saw Pant taking the lethal pacer Bhuvaneshwar Kumar to the cleaners by scoring 26 runs in 5 deliveries with the help of 2 fours and 3 sixes.
On a short-of-length delivery by Kumar, Pant tried to strike so hard that one hand came off the bat but there was enough power in the shot for the ball to clear the fence.
#6 Pant's splendid revolving six
This shot was tremendous because of the way Pant timed the ball coming in at a good pace whilst playing on his back foot. The way he was able to hit clean over fine leg was a treat to watch. Maintaining balance by keeping the left foot fixed, acting as a pivot for his whole body to turn about and shifting his bodyweight so perfectly to hit that glorious shot, Pant truly delivered a shot that was nothing short of phenomenal.
