Pant was guilty of two run-out dismissals in the Delhi innings

Rishabh Pant played one of the best knocks in IPL history, no doubt, but what attracted as much attention as his big-hitting skills on the day was his trouble at running between the wickets.

He ran out not one, but two of his teammates on the way to his majestic hundred and it was the young wicketkeeper-batsman who at fault on both occasions.

Pant was guilty of ball-watching and made a positive response initially before backing out leaving his partner in dire straits and with little chance of making his way back to the crease.

Skipper Shreyas Iyer was the first to go, falling victim to Pant's indecisiveness for the second time this season, while Harsh Patel whose cameo arguably changed the course of the match, also saw his innings cut short after being sent back by Pant midway through completing a double.
