IPL 2018 : 5 Key Indian players for Delhi Daredevils

#2 Rishabh Pant

IPL 2018 is crucial for Pant

Rishabh Pant, the explosive wicket-keeper batsman, will play for the Delhi Daredevils in IPL 2018. He lit up IPL 2017 with a few scintillating innings and it appeared that he was ready for the big stage.

A string of poor performances in the Indian domestic season, however, meant that he had to wait for his call-up to the Indian cricket team. Hence, IPL 2018 is extremely crucial for him to get back into the reckoning for national team selection.

Pant is known for his hard-hitting and dominating style of play. On his day, he can dismantle a bowling attack by playing strokes all around the wicket.

He will be crucial at the top of the order for the Delhi Daredevils as he would aptly utilize the fielding restrictions up front. He will also have a crucial responsibility behind the wickets as well.

Rishabh Pant has played 24 IPL games in total in which he has scored 564 runs at an impressive strike rate of 151.20. He has scored three half-centuries in the process.
