Former India skipper, Dilip Vengsarkar said he has never witness shots as Rishabh Pant played during his knock against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The southpaw was on fire while talking on best bowling line-up of the Indian Premier League.

Pant scored an unbeaten 128 runs off 63 balls, as he was at the top of his game. However, his knock went in vain, as Delhi lost the match by nine wickets.

Southpaw Pant scored the third century of the ongoing season. The combative batsman clobbered 15 fours and seven maximums during his staggering knock.

Pant played some remarkable shots during his blistering knock. The pugnacious left-hander also played a scoop over the short third man to the surprise of many.

“I saw him (Pant) yesterday. He played superbly. Some of the shots were innovative and I have never seen those shots before. He played extremely well yesterday,” Vengsarkar praised Pant as quoted by PTI.

Consequently, Delhi hopes of qualifying for the playoffs places also vanished, as they lost their eighth match of the season.
