Rishabh Pant stars as Delhi thrash Mumbai Indians

TIL Desk Sports/ Rishabh Pant’s utterly destructive 78 not out (27 balls) powered Delhi Capitals to a 37-run win over Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League encounter at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

While Pant’s relentless onslaught would do his confidence a world of good and keep him in contention for a World Cup berth, Jasprit Bumrah’s shoulder injury two months before the ICC showpiece event has left the Indian cricket fraternity worried.

The Delhi dazzler’s seven towering sixes and as many fours at a Wankhede Stadium left the Mumbai Indians bowlers, including the world’s best pacer Jasprit Bumrah, traumatised and gave the rechristened Delhi Capitals a winning start that has long eluded them.
