Just a few weeks ago Rishabh Pant’s wicketkeeping was all over the news for all the wrong reasons. Rishabh Pant was given a chance to cement his place in India’s World Cup squad through the last two ODIs against Australia. However, the youngster failed miserably, making many say that he still needs a lot of improvement as far as his wicketkeeping is concerned. However, Pant has shown he is a fast-learner as he has impressed behind the stumps in the ongoing Indian Premier League.

The Delhi Capitals star, on Friday, pulled off a world-class catch against Kolkata Knight Riders to send back Robin Uthappa. Like many, the veteran batsman would have also thought that his shot would land safely behind the stumps but Rishabh Pant proved everyone wrong.  In the ninth over, Kagiso Rabada bowled a short delivery which was angled down the leg side. Uthappa was not at all in control of the shot and ended up gloving it.

However, the ball was looking set to sail over Pant before the wicketkeeper made a full-fledged dive towards his left to pull off a stunner. Uthappa’s wicket meant Knight Riders were two down for 63 for 2. Debutant Joe Denly had departed for a duck in the very first over of the innings after Delhi won the toss and elected to bowl first.
