Overall, Rishabh Pant has scored 3553 runs at a strike rate of 147.61 in 125 IPL matches, including two centuries and 19 fifties, with the highest score of 128*.

The dominating knock from the LSG captain took his team to 227/3 in 20 overs. Unfortunately, RCB managed to overhaul the target, with Virat Kohli making 54 and Jitesh Sharma playing a knock of a lifetime, scoring 85* in 33 balls with eight fours and six sixes to take RCB to the win by six wickets.

2. 97 for DC vs GL, IPL 2017

IPL 2017 was Rishabh Pant’s second season, and he played one of the best knocks, showcasing his potential to everyone. Delhi Capitals faced off against Gujarat Lions in Delhi, and the Suresh Raina-led side batted first. They made 208/7 thanks to 77 from Raina and 65 from Dinesh Karthik.

Sanju Samson gave Delhi a good start with 61 in 31 balls, but the match was brought to a close in Delhi’s favor by Pant. Batting at no. 3, Pant smashed 97 in 43 balls, hammering six fours and nine sixes in his knock. He missed his century by three runs, getting dismissed by Basil Thampi. Delhi won the game by seven wickets, and Pant won the Player of the Match.

1. 128* for DC vs SRH, IPL 2018

This match was a one-man show from Pant in IPL 2018 when Delhi faced off against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Delhi.
