#4 Rishabh Pant v Mujeeb ur Rahman

Rishabh Pant

Duels between talented young players are always exciting and one of those will be on offer tonight when DD’s marauding wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant and KXIP’s young Afghan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman. The finger-spinner has been one of the most consistent performers in the KXIP attack this year and although he has only picked up 4 wickets so far, he has recorded a brilliant economy rate of 7.05.

Hitting him out of the attack has proven to be a tough ask for most players but Pant will try exactly that tonight and considering the sort of hitting form he is in, it promises to be a classic contest. He is currently striking at 176.98 and in his last game, Pant hit 7 sixes and 6 fours in a pulsating 48 ball 85. The left-handed batsman is a brilliant player of spin as well, which is why Mujeeb would have to bring his best game to Delhi tonight.
