IPL: Top 5 purchases made by the Delhi Daredevils over the years

1. Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant is on course to becoming one of the greats of the game. The diminutive left-hander from Delhi is highly regarded in the cricketing circles, and the power with which he smashes the ball around the park is a treat for the eyes.

Delhi acquired his services in 2016 for 1.9 crore, and he has been retained by the team management ever since. Pant already has more than 1,200 runs to his name at an impressive average of 35 for the Daredevils.

He was fantastic during the 2018 edition of the IPL, scoring almost 700 runs, only behind Kane Williamson in the top run scorers’ list. His sensational knock of 128 runs against the Sunrisers Hyderabad is the highest individual score by any Daredevils batsman.

Pant has all the strokes in his repertoire, and he just needs to have a calm head on his shoulders to gain even more success. With age on his side, Pant is likely to light up the IPL in plenty of upcoming years as well, and might just help Delhi clinch that elusive IPL title.
