Delhi Capitals started the proceedings with a mediocre start as Prithvi Shaw and Shreyas Iyer fell in the powerplay. With 45 for 2 after six overs, DC would have eyed a score of around 160-170.

Dhawan and Ingram added 83 runs for the third wicket with Ingram looking confident and aggressive. Rishabh Pant who came in after Ingram's fall seemed to have other ideas as he completely stole the show.

Pant looked unstoppable as he scored boundaries for fun. He smashed seven sixes and seven fours in his blistering knock. Rishabh Pant ended with a strike rate of 288.89, thus becoming the player with second highest strike rate while facing 25+ balls. The first in the list is Suresh Raina. Raina had a strike rate of 348 when he hit 25-ball 87 against Kings XI Punjab in 2014 IPL.
