Twitterati heaps praise on Rishabh Pant for his matured knockDelhi Capitals (DC) skipper Rishabh Pant(51 in 35 balls) played a mature knock to shepherd his side to a decent first innings total of 172/5 in Qualifier 1 against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).He received able support from Shimron Hetmyer(37) in the middle order. The attacking left-handed duo stitched a wonderful 83-run partnership for the fifth wicket after a mini-collapse in the middle overs.Earlier, Prithvi Shaw(60 in 34 balls) scored a scintillating half-century to set up a solid platform for Delhi in the first half of their innings. But Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, and Shikhar Dhawan departed cheaply to put DC in a spot of bother.Rishabh Pant and Hetmyer joined hands after that and took their side to a decent position by playing an attacking brand of cricket.Fans were in awe of the maturity shown by Rishabh Pant during the innings as he took the game deep and eventually provided a strong finish for the Delhi side. They took to Twitter to heap praise on the young wicketkeeper-batter for his splendid knock.Here are some of the best reactions:Kumar Gourav Singh@KumarGouravSi13Rishabh Pant in IPL Knockouts:-•In 2019 IPL Eliminator - 49(21).•In 2019 IPL Qualifier 2 - 38(25).•In 2020 IPL Final - 58(36).•In 2021 IPL Qualifier 1 - 51*(36).Big match player - Rishabh Pant.9:31 AM · Oct 10, 20211Rishabh Pant in IPL Knockouts:-•In 2019 IPL Eliminator - 49(21).•In 2019 IPL Qualifier 2 - 38(25).•In 2020 IPL Final - 58(36).•In 2021 IPL Qualifier 1 - 51*(36).Big match player - Rishabh Pant. https://t.co/h8OZE7Wc8BTejas Dange@irony_boi10#CSKvDC Rishabh Pant hitting six with one hand9:52 AM · Oct 10, 2021#CSKvDC Rishabh Pant hitting six with one hand https://t.co/QPJ2cVaJvWManish Vishindasani@manishvishinRishabh Pant-2019 IPL Eliminator : 49 (21)2019 IPL Qualifier : 38 (25)2020 IPL Final : 58 (36)2021 IPL Qualifier : 51 (35)#RishabhPant9:28 AM · Oct 10, 2021Rishabh Pant-2019 IPL Eliminator : 49 (21)2019 IPL Qualifier : 38 (25)2020 IPL Final : 58 (36)2021 IPL Qualifier : 51 (35)#RishabhPantNilesh Gadhavi 🇮🇳@NSGadhaviIt is commendable to see Rishabh Pant manage to step up and perform in such high pressure situations, again and again. 51* in 35 balls under pressure 🙌🏻 Well Played #RishabhPant #CSKvsDC #IPL2021 #Playoffs9:24 AM · Oct 10, 2021141It is commendable to see Rishabh Pant manage to step up and perform in such high pressure situations, again and again. 51* in 35 balls under pressure 🙌🏻 Well Played #RishabhPant #CSKvsDC #IPL2021 #Playoffs https://t.co/Lyr74GOYpONagendra singh chouhan🥀💖@k_p_7773Pantastic innings skipper 💥❤️.Perfect Captains knock and finish at big stage 😎🥳.#CSKvsDC #RishabhPant9:26 AM · Oct 10, 2021102Pantastic innings skipper 💥❤️.Perfect Captains knock and finish at big stage 😎🥳.#CSKvsDC #RishabhPant https://t.co/jiFQymONWfDelhi Capitals@DelhiCapitalsRishabh Pant's one-handed sixes be like 🔥#Qualifier1 | #IPL2021 | #YehHaiNayiDilli | #DCvCSK9:03 AM · Oct 10, 202184484Rishabh Pant's one-handed sixes be like 🔥#Qualifier1 | #IPL2021 | #YehHaiNayiDilli | #DCvCSK https://t.co/VJwFE7cURfCricketMAN2@man4_cricketWell played, Rishabh Pant.

It seemed like slowing down but towards the end, it got better. We could have used the big boundary a bit better today. All in all, it is probably a par score."It is just about reading the play and putting in the practice efforts here in the middle. It's about implementing at the right time and executing. The Test match length can work at certain times in T20s as well."He added:"It was pretty sweaty out there. I think a bit of dew is starting to come down now. The ball seems to be coming on nicely. Hopefully, it will suit us when we bat."Delhi Capitals have a strong bowling line-up. It will be interesting to see how the chase unfolds in the second innings.The winner of today's contest will advance directly to the final. Due to this, both teams will fight valiantly in the second innings to secure safe passage to the finals.
