DC captain Rishabh Pant put up an incredible performance against GT in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday, 17 April. Playing at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Pant was at his very best in the first innings of the game. While Pant has batted well through the tournament, on Wednesday, Pant pulled off a stunning display behind the stumps.
Not only did Pant complete a diving catch in the fifth over of the match, picking the ball at a very low height from the ground, the DC captain also affected two brilliant stumpings. Pant did very well to guide his bowlers to deliver the right deliveries which worked out well for the DC side.

There was no respite for the GT batters as the bowling unit extracted every bit of help from the pitch and put the hosts in a shell.
