Top 10 signings of IPL 2016

Rishab Pant to Delhi Daredevils

The last 10 balls he faced in an underage international cricket consisted of 4 fours and 3 sixes—amassing 35 runs in the process. Coincidentally, 7 of those were the last deliveries he faced before the IPL auction and, inevitably, it caught the eyes of potential suitors.

When one watches him bat, he comes off as a spitting image of former India batsman, Virender Sehwag. Indeed, when words pour out of his mind in the most casual of ways, the similarity becomes uncanny.

And like Sehwag, his first IPL team is the Delhi Daredevils.

His gung-ho approach and fearless attitude is just what is required to be a hit in the tournament. So watch out this space.
