IPL history: 5 players who played for India in T20I after impressing for Delhi Capitals

#3 Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant won the Emerging Player of the season award last year

T20I debut - February, 2017

Performance in IPL 2016 - 198 runs, Highest Score - 69

Rishabh Pant made headlines for his performances in the U-19 World Cup two years ago. He even impressed in the domestic circuit for his home side, Delhi. This led to the Delhi Capitals signing him ahead of the 2016 season of IPL. Pant made his debut for the Delhi franchise in 2016 itself and the youngster aggregated 198 runs in 10 matches.

Though these statistics do not look great, they do not show the real picture. The aggressive manner in which Pant played won the hearts of fans as the then 19-year-old smashed the best bowlers of the world fearlessly. He received his maiden T20I cap for India ahead in 2017 against England at home.
