India wicket-keeper batter and Delhi skipper Rishabh Pant put up a good show during the Vijay Hazare Trophy fixture against Gujarat as he notched up a half-century in Bengaluru on Friday.
Batting first, Delhi lost opener Priyansh Arya but Virat Kohli who has been in brilliant touch put up a partnership with Arpit Rana. But Rana’s departure saw wickets falling at regular intervals for the Delhi team. However, continuing his good form, Kohli scored 77 off 61. This is his sixth consecutive 50+ score in List A format.
While wickets tumbled, Pant held the fort at one end and struck 70 off 79 before eventually getting out to Vishal Jayswal. The aggressive left-handed batter brought up his fifty with a massive hit over long on for a maximum off Ravi Bishnoi.
Delhi eventually put up 254/9 on the board in 50 overs. Harsh Tyagi also made a valuable contribution with 40 off 47. The Rishabh Pant-led side had come into this game on the back of a good win in their previous match against Andhra Pradesh. Kohli played the anchor’s role in that fixture and notched up a hundred to help the side go over the line.
Covering sports for fun. Cricket in whites remains the first love—the kind that teaches patience, rewards nuance, and tells stories over five days rather than five seconds.
