Everyone was trolling and abusing Rishabh Pant when he saved KULLU.
2 foreign batsmen against the best player was always going to be difficult.
Well done Rishabh Pant, game changing decision 🔥 #ipl #DCvsRR pic.twitter.com/c8XpxViDV5

Hello @DelhiCapitals,
I’ve supported you through good times and bad, but if you don’t retain JFM next year, consider me done with you.
Thank you.

Ricky Ponting, Rishabh Pant and almost everyone in the Delhi Capitals dugout were under immense pressure.
Even the hands and confidence of the players were shaking when Sanju Samson was batting, but Lord Mukesh Kumar took Sanju’s valuable wicket and won the game. Bright.pic.twitter.com/7Tme7Jto1i
